What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

I love the Integrated development environment. I can code and test at the same time. The debugger allows me to step through code, make a change and re-run lines of code. This allows me to more quickly troubleshoot and solve issues as they arise. The Version Control System allows us to work in teams on the various projects that are company works on., code editor, cross-platform deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

Umfangreiche Funktionen – Die Entwicklungsumgebung bietet eine Vielzahl an Funktionen für komplexe Geschäftslogik, Datenbankmanagement und UI-Design. Besonders gut gefällt mir die integrierte Skriptsprache, die speziell für geschäftsorientierte Anwendungen optimiert ist.

Einfache Integration – Die Verbindung mit SQL-Datenbanken (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MicrosoftSQL …) ist reibungslos und stabil. APIs lassen sich ebenfalls gut einbinden, was die Entwicklung von modernen Webanwendungen erleichtert.

Schnelle Umsetzung dank visueller Entwicklung – Die Drag-and-Drop-Funktionalität macht es einfach, Benutzeroberflächen zu erstellen, und die RAD-Features (Rapid Application Development) beschleunigen den Entwicklungsprozess enorm.

Kundensupport – Der technische Support ist hilfreich und reagiert in der Regel schnell auf Anfragen. Allerdings wäre eine größere Community wünschenswert, um häufiger Antworten auf spezifische Fragen zu finden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

Gelegentlich komplexe Umsetzung – Manche fortgeschrittenen Funktionen erfordern ein tiefes Verständnis der Plattform, was die Umsetzung zeitaufwendiger machen kann. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

Die Möglichkeit, mit einer einzigen Codebasis sowohl Desktop- als auch Web- und Mobile-Apps zu erstellen.

Ein weiteres Highlight ist die Datenbankanbindung. Die nahtlose Integration mit SQL-Datenbanken wie PostgreSQL oder MySQL macht Omnis Studio besonders attraktiv für Entwickler, die mit datengetriebenen Anwendungen arbeiten.

Und schließlich: Die visuelle Entwicklungsumgebung erleichtert es, Oberflächen schnell zu erstellen und anzupassen, was Entwicklungszeiten erheblich verkürzen kann. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

Omnis Studio hat seine eigene Art der Entwicklung, die sich von gängigen IDEs wie Visual Studio oder Eclipse unterscheidet. Es dauert eine Weile, bis man sich in die eigene Skriptsprache und das Entwicklungsparadigma eingefuchst hat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

Am besten hat mir gefallen, dass man Web-Oberflächen direkt mit drag&drop gestalten kann und diese dann direkt mit den Datenklassen verbinden kann. Auch dass diese Klassen vererbbar und so in unterschieldichen Kontexten verwendet werde können ist stark.

Man kann mit Omnis Studio direkt Geschäftsanwendungen programmieren, die dann im Browser als Anwendung laufen und so die Verteilung einfach macht. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

Manche UI Designs sind nicht mit den internen Eigenschaften umsetzbar. Aber zum Glück kann man auch eigene CSS Klassen einbinden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnis Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sehr gut zum Entwickeln von allen möglichen Businessanwendungen. Ich habe damit z.B. in kürzester Zeit eine Urlaubsverwaltung für Mitarbeiter eines Krankenhauses realisiert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

Omnis Studio lacks the flexibility and versatility. It's poor that it is unable to develop applications, for platforms such as Windows, macOS and even mobile devices at once for me. The visual development environment makes it difficult to create appealing user interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

The built in JavaScript and SQL support fails to enable me to incorporate functionality. One downside of Omnis Studio is its lack of user interfaces and intuitive features which is a bit difficult for non technical users. The reporting and data visualization capabilities are somewhat limited making it difficult to present data in a manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnis Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

The technical support provided by Omnis Studio can sometimes is slow and ineffective resulting in delays when troubleshooting and resolving issues. Omnis Studio has obstructed our business operations. It has not solved the problem of creating software solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

I have used Omnis for many years, their current main product in Omnis Studio, but I've used there previous incarnation, called Omnis 7, even from these early days, the solution could be developed on lets say Windows, and you could expect it to work on a Mac machine just as well, with few system based changes.

I have created many bespoke solutions for both large companies, and small companies, and we could always bring the solution to market well before we might in any other language.

The development, debugging is by far the best around, live editing and debugging can be achieved in the development version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

The pricing structure is a chunk for a new developer whom may not understand the value of their purchase, but persevere, it is for sure worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Omnis Studio:

My use has been mainly for thick client solutions on Windows and Mac clients.

I have used the recent solution to create a phone based addition to a main product, but not extensively enough to either say good or bad things about it, except to say, we probably created the solution much quicker than if we had chosen to use any other solution with our background with Omnis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnis Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like I said, many and varied, Time entry, rosta, payroll and wages, simple recipe databases, stock management, manufacturing stock control, process management... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Omnis Studio?

I like the that Omnis Studio provides the most cost-productive method of prototyping, and turning those prototypes into mission-critical applications. Omnis Studio is a modern and extensible, object oriented development environment and language. It can be enhanced through the use of third party extensions, and even has the api documentation for writing custom, in-house extensions using a variety of programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Omnis Studio?

The pricing structure for developer support and deployment can be a negative for some. We have gone along for the ride with every support option since the early days of the product. It's that good, despite the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Omnis Studio:

Although the price of admission is kind of high, we feel that the productivity gains are worth it. Otherwise we would have switched to something else, years ago. We look forward to the future with Omnis. We have been using it to develop world-class applications for a variety of markets over the past 35 years. We don't know of any other development environment that has stood this test of time. There is a lot to be said for that. This product has never failed to permit us to deliver the highest quality product, at the lowest cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnis Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have used Omnis Studio for a myriad or solutions. Engineering processes for power generating gas turbines, large scale payroll and employment agency management, Utility billing systems, Medical Billing and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center Administration/Quality Assurance/Resource Management.
