What do you like best about GeneXus?

I met GeneXus in 1998, the promise of impacting software development was real, within a few months we had our first version of our software that today provides the company with more than 80% of its revenue. In parallel, the promise of being future-proof was also real, our software evolved through different languages, databases, and platforms, until it became a fully cloud-based service, under the SaaS commercialization model. These are the main reasons why I recommend GeneXus, which from my point of view is the best cutting-edge low-code technology for software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GeneXus?

In 1999 I became acquainted with Genexus and its power in the rapid development of database applications. At that time, we had an application developed in BBx (Business Basic) with a proprietary database, which was not Windows. Genexus helped us considerably and very quickly to migrate the application to Visual Basic. It was something truly valuable to be on the Windows and SQL Server platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

What Genexus has always lacked is extensive and detailed documentation of each of its functionalities, as well as complete examples of functionalities with a high level of abstraction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, Genexus helps me with the maintenance and technological evolution of our application. Although the process of transferring an application from one platform to another is not entirely automatic, the truth is that the assistance provided by Genexus is powerful.

What do you like best about GeneXus?

What I liked most about this tool is the very easy way to interact; you don't need to be from a technology career. It is true that it will help you have more ideas and much more logic to solve current problems, but it does not limit you from gaining experience. The short time to have a test application helps to have a model very similar to the final one and to have clients with good expectations and offer stages or versions of it, not limiting it to being useful only when it is 100% complete, but allowing it to be enhanced and obviously improved with the versions. Therefore, I see great potential in services and costs since this development can be improved over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

Well, a bit of a struggle with the design, but actually, since time is saved with the development that is automated in certain aspects, you can have more focus on those details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The development time for me is the best benefit, I can compete with a great development team on other platforms or native codes, which makes it profitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GeneXus?

The ease and speed it provides developers to create functional applications, without the need to fully know a conventional development language, and furthermore, the developed applications can be available in different technologies such as .Net Framework, .Net, Java, and native mobile applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GeneXus?

The documentation can sometimes be incomplete, and it may be the case that important data is missing in the wiki to achieve the required functionality, and research may need to be conducted in other unofficial sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We try to solve the needs of different clients in a faster and more efficient way, and I believe that thanks to Genexus, we have been achieving it. With the help of GxServer, we can work collaboratively, have functional applications in less time, and make changes if necessary in a quick way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
