"Low code tool for creating business applications"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

Genexus provides tools for quickly building business applications, including predefined design systems, data model generators, business rules language. Applications can support complex business processes thanks to the built-in modeler compatible with BPMN 2.0. And what is unique to Genexus, rarely found in other Low-Code tools, is the ability to generate source code for Java and .Net environments. This allows applications to be run in on-premise or cloud-based (Google, AWS, Azure) environments.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

Genexus allows generating web and mobile native applications, but the Genexus IDE requires installation on a PC or laptop. Currently, there is no available web version of IDE.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed up creating software applications for my clients. Genexus is licensed by the developer seat. The runtime does not require additional fees.

"Excelent low code platform."
What do you like best about GeneXus?

How easy its to use it. The power of GeneXus, it generates with the same definitions applications in all DBMS, and C#, java , netcore, angular, android and ios. The extensibility, if something cannot be achived using GX, it can be extended by using user controls 2.0, external libraries. The integration with other platforms using for example the api object, webservices, rest. It´s a very complete tool.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

It is difficult to find something I dislike compared with other platforms—nothing to say here.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are creating business applications and maintaining them. Applications are very easy to mantain and addapt to all technologies. Our product, that is an ERP supports many platforms (languages/DBMS) due to the use of GeneXus. With a small team we can achieve a great application.

"GeneXus is a game changer"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

GeneXus enables developers to create the application once, and it deploy across multiple platforms. The IDE is Windows-based. But the solution can be generated in .Net, .Net Core, Java. The frontend client it generates can be used across the web, Android, iOS and Angular. It is an Enterprise level solution. Support is friendly and fast. The learning curve for the product is similiar to any software product, it takes time. There are concepts that must be understood, and once you know them, GeneXus becomes a great tool.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

I suspect that due to its ability to support legacy systems, the wiki spans across many platforms. It is a bit difficult to understand. But for the current version, they do provide separate documentation.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

For any company that has existing systems and developers, GeneXus is a bonus because GeneXus allows them to develop the applications using the latest technology with needing to learn them in detail. GeneXus generates the code for them. By re-training existing staff, they become more productive and effective in a short period of time.

"very intuitive and easy to understand platform."
What do you like best about GeneXus?

the ease of mapping objects and creating business rules.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

personally I do not count any dislike, so far

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

With genexus it solves the problem of having to be creating all the codes of the business, data and presentation classes, you just have to do the work of the software architect and give the instructions to genexus, which saves a lot of time.

"The Low Code platform that will change how you develop applications"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

The app developed is truly future-proof.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

GX Wiki is massive but not so organized.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to deliver applications faster to our customers. We have achieved delivery at least five times more quickly, the maintenance of the applications has also significantly reduced. We can make changes to the applications rapidly, and the development cost has gone down a lot. We are experiencing good ROI.

"A melhor ferramenta low-code do mercado!"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

O GeneXus tira do desenvolvedor a responsabilidade de escrever os códigos para criação do banco de dados e tabelas. Também provê um ganho de velocidade na criação de telas tanto para web quanto dispositivos móveis. Além disto, gera código para as diferentes linguagens de programação do mercado, como .NET, Java, Angular, Android e Swift. Com uma mesma base de conhecimento, que é como se chama o ambiente onde a aplicação é desenvolvida, é possível gerar partes da aplicação em diferentes linguagens, caso seja necessário. Por exemplo, é possível gerar aplicativos web e mobile utilizando procedimentos em comum, ou seja, sem que se tenha que duplicar a regra de negócio. A criação de objetos API através do GeneXus é extremamente simples e rápida, separando a interface do código interno da aplicação. Além disto, o GeneXus conta com ferramentas já embarcadas, como seu módulo de segurança (GAM) e workflow (GxFlow).

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

Acho a IDE de desenvolvimento um pouco pesada. Acredito que poderiam trabalhar para deixá-la mais leve.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Atualmente participo de três projetos diferentes sendo a construção de integrações com API's de marketplaces e sistemas de gerenciamento de transportes (TMS), desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta de ITSM com BPM integrado (GxFlow) e, ainda em seu status inicial, o desenvolvimento de um "Super App".

"You CAN afford custom software"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

GeneXus allows for very fast software development and deployment, and ensures strong database integrity. Multi-platform generation allows for using a single code base deployed to multiple environments. For example, an RPG model from 20 years ago can still be deployed to a modern Java platform with minimal adaptation, then further deployed to smart devices. GeneXus protects your software development investment by keeping you current without redeveloping your apps.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

The only negative to GeneXus in the USA is the lack of adoption. It's the best kept secret in the software development world.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automated complex product pricing for internal staff. After a few years, we were able to extend it to external users, and achieve self-service for customers. Customers were able to do the pricing work themselves, and it became an incentive to do business with the company.

"Exploring in Genexus"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

As a Genexus initiate, I have found a completely new, practical and efficient development environment. At the beginning I found what resembled a database (transactions), without imagining everything that the application was creating simultaneously, objects that were defined which could be modified, assigned rules, parameters, all to create a dynamic application that , in my opinion although it was by default easy to use. Currently, I continue to know more about what the application offers me, its great repertoire of objects and its extensive tools.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

I have not yet found something so relevant as to say that I would not like it, or rather, I need to investigate more in the application.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ease of the tool, in addition to helping me save a lot of time with the development of my application, which I can focus on making an interface or environment more pleasant for both myself and the user. The insert section has helped me a lot when referring to an associated attribute, rule or event, since by handling a large number of elements, this option prevents me from making typing errors that, in other programs, I would have already had.

"Rapid application development and ongoing maintenance and support"
What do you like best about GeneXus?

Genexus is a very broad integrated development environment which we have used to develop our core application, which involved backend processes and web services, and front end user interface and mobile app.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

There is very little to dislike about Genexus. It is a solid application development platform which has constantly kept up with our ever evolving needs.

What problems is GeneXus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to create a Java based server application which supported web service APIs for our mobile applications. We were able to use Genexus throughout every phase of our development cycle, and it reduced the number of expected man hours for all of our projects.
