GeneXus Reviews: 4.7/5 — Highly Rated

speed to develop solutions is good when you need to be fast

the performance for access to the database in some cases is bad

all, we use genexus to develop our core system

Generación de código multiplataforma, generacción de apps en la misma KB

Exceso de código, dificultad para construir un look and feel adecuado

Hemos resuelto la velocidad de desarrollo de aplicaciones, los beneficios son menores costos de desarrollo

La facilidad y el desarrollo rapido para crear aplicaciones y poder cambiar entre lenguajes de programacion.

Cuando ya son proyectos muy grandes o con ciertas complicaciones ya no es funcional.

Un punto de venta para negocios, fue muy rapido y facil el realizarlo, me ahorro muchisimo tiempo y me permitio realizarlo para movil y desktop.

La conjunción entre capacitación y desarrollos, el soporte de toda una comunidad

No me merece reparos. El desempeño es muy bueno

En su momento desarrollos de progamas de ventas y productividad.

la facilidad para generar aplicaciones de calidad

que hay veces que no hace lo que uno quiere

Resolvimos el ERP de la eimpresa, la velocidad en poder generar una solucion sólida

The best thing that genexus gives you is that you forget about programming and technical issues, allowing you to focus on the solution

that the generated code only follows the standards it is difficult to customize it

all the developments of the consultancy have been taken care of with genexus, a great benefit is having in the same project everything that has to do with a solution

Being able to work with a multidisciplinary but small team of professionals with a lot of focus on the needs of the business, leaving GeneXus to take care of a correct and constant improvement in the code, the security and the performance of the solutions, and especially the permanent evolution of the technology.

The limited availability of rich user interface components, and easy incorporation as they exist in other platforms

Develop a large and complex product, integrated with multiple tourism service providers, reservation systems, and e-commerce sites, with constant needs to adapt to changes and innovation in business and technology, with a small development team that must have a lot of business knowledge

One of the core GeneXus strong points that I highlight is that it is a very powerful low code platform that generates applications in different platforms and programming languages using the same code in a very short time. This is valuable both for small and big companies. Another very important thing is the short learning curve of Genexus that allows any company to create a Genexus development team that can achieve results very quickly. This saves money for the company and allows them to do more with the same team. Also, GeneXus is a tool that allows expansion and integration with others development tools allowing further enhancement of the software development process. One of these tools is K2BTools, which has the same development philosophy as Genexus and allows any development team to achieve even higher levels of productivity.

Genexus evolution is so fast it forces us to be alert and work to be up to date. This effort has its rewards as it makes our systems to stay current with the newest technologies that appear every day in the software development industry.

In our company we provide GeneXus solutions for different business areas like: industrial, health, logistics, government, telecommunications, education, financial, agricultural, etc. Among those one is a world class ERP that was 100% developed with Genexus & K2BTools whose name is K2B ERP , created for the private and government sector.

- Lo simple que es hacer una app para cualquier plataforma - Que con una misma especificación podes generar en N plataformas y DBMS - Que siempre está a la vanguardia, agregando no solo m{as potencia, sino incorporando y generando para todas las nueva tecnologías, lenguajes, etc. - Que soluciona todo el ciclo de desarrollo, desde el diseño, la programación, el diseño de la base, hasta el test y deploy

Nada en particular. Puede que al principio alguien que programa "manualmente" cada elemento pueda sentir que no tiene todo el control, pero luego de lograr cierto dominio y entender sus características, potencia y capacidades ya no es un problema.

En nuestra empresa construimos todas las aplicaciones de nuestros clientes (diferentes industrias) con GX, para Web, mobile, y en en todos los dbms, y lenguajes (ya que cada cliente pide o usa diferentes tecnologias) El beneficio es además del bajo costo para crear aplicaciones en N plataformas, la capacidad de evolucionarlas con la misma especificación original, ajustando pocas cosas. Esto nos da un segur tecnológico y muchas veces es lo que nos permite que los proyectos sean viables.

Como consultor de aplicaciones puedo experimentar en cada proyecto la versatilidad y rapidez de desarrollo, es cierto que no es un generador de propósito general, sin embargo, se puede extender la funcionalidad brindada por Genexus de forma rápida.

Costo de licencia y poca expansión en el mercado.

Sistemas web empresariales, e-comerce (web, Android, ios), Gestión documental, CRM, etc. Los principales beneficios es la velocidad de desarrollo, código generado estándar (minimiza los riesgos de programadores poco experimentados), un solo programador Genexus es capaz de programar todas las capas de una aplicación.

Modelado rápido, Desarrollo rápido, fácil integración de cambios, fácil versionado, fácil integración de objetos externos, se tiene herramientas de debug... etc

en desarrollo de apps móviles aun le falta madurar mas

Gracias a que tienes el control de modelado de datos, es mas fácil y rápida la implementación de cambios obteniendo un mejor control en la integridad de tu base de datos.

Su facilidad por la cual puedes empezar a desarrollar un proyecto web o móvil y empezar a realizar pruebas en el. Poder modelar tu base datos por medio de transacciones y sin preocuparte en se una persona muy experta en el ámbito.

Falta documentación mas clara y organizada. En el ámbito móvil siento que aun se encuentra algo lejos de las plataformas, nativas falta agregar mas opciones.

Aplicaciones que requieren una mayor velocidad de entrega y la facilidad de ser multiplataforma

Genexus is a tool that allows development to be carried out much faster, both visually and in code. The range of fields in which it contributes is wide and adapts to almost any type of situation for customer solutions, it facilitates the development of agile methodologies.

Little support for very old versions of the tool

Agile development, mobile application development, web applications and desktop applications.

Allows you to focus on generating speedier apps rather to worrying about the complexities of developing a new software product. In addition to being able to connect to practically any database, it allows you to run your work in a variety of various settings.

Small and medium-sized businesses may struggle to implement it due to its high cost. Many times it is tough to discover a solution to the unexpected occurrences that you may face due to the lack of documentation for this program.

Throughout my career, I've relied on GeneXus in a variety of high-stakes work settings. This improvement in productivity and quality has been seen since our first assignment together. The GeneXus platform has adapted to the current technical developments, allowing us not only to produce outstanding online applications but also native mobile apps. Complex software systems should be developed and maintained by creating an abstract model and allowing GeneXus to handle the technical aspects.

Prototipado rapido, integración con diversas aplicaciones de terceros, seguridad integrada.

Pattern integrado demasiado simple, falta explotar propiedades.

Migraciones rapidas entre versiones. Modelado de datos automatizado.

This software is very versatile that offers a great capacity to generate applications and Framework in almost any language (Visual Basic 6.0, ASP.Net, Visual.Net, Java, Javascritp, HTM, XML, C ++, C #, etc, etc.). It depends on the modules that the company has. You can generate Desktop applications with Web communication and vice versa. Its power is impressive

It's a bit heavy and generates too many tables. It should be noted that it is also an "expensive" product and that the maintenance of the applications can only be done through genexus itself, which even if it throws you code like Java, VB or C, you will not be able to exploit it from those languages. Making a custom program will be limited by the same Genexus limitations.

It is much easier to create and maintain web applications with this tool since its generated is executed in such a way that it saves us many programming lines. Also you can test the applications before giving their final finish. It helps us a lot in the creation of native applications for various devices with a professional appearance and great stability.

Que al cambiar un atributo se actualizan todos los lugares donde se utiliza y la función References.

Que los bugs solo se reparan para versiones nuevas, no hay una política de mantenimiento de versiones anteriores. Siempre la solución a todos los problemas está en la próxima versión.

ERP corporativo, facilidad de mantenimiento con el paso del tiempo.

Not only effortlessly but also in a simple way you can set up your database and it's backend. I really appreciate it. With just a few clicks the database can be established. It enables the use of tamplates to set up a consistent layout.

It struggles to set minor changes in the front-end. Despite having bought Work With Plus, which is supposed to solve front-end issues, I spend most of the time fixing paddings or alining items. Moreover, I find frustrating the time it takes it to build. It should be a 64-bit program. The documentation provided is pathetic. There are just a few examples, no idex, vage explanation. That cause that learning requires plenty of time. The support that Genexus provides is awful. It never gets the point,

I am currently implementing web apps in the factory, addressing several issues that were previously tackled with excel, dramatically increasing production and diminishing workload to users. Furthermore, we were able to gather information that was in excel files onto one extensive database.

Una de las mejores cosas es poder crear/desarrollar aplicaciones web y móviles de forma simultánea. El poder para administrar base de datos sin la necesidad de ser experto en el tema hace la aplicación muy intuitiva.

Falta de documentación detallada con respecto a algunos temas, sobre todo con respecto al ámbito del diseño front-end, la misma creación y administración de themes.

La velocidad de desarrollo

Fast of work and good GUI, and good customer services

The price is to high and there are some drawbacks like supporting the arabic language

Finish the work in faster time and can build one application for all platforms.

Speed from design to prototype. Easy to model database.

On big-scale apps, you are needed to develop outside of GeneXus.

Mostly Native SOAP webservice-based applications. I have to code less to create a functional webservice.

The best thing is that you can learn quickly how the language of genexus, since it simplifies many things that in others you would have to do from scratch, since it generates a lot of code for connections, web pages, android applications, etc. In addition, this also scales to other areas such as creating android programs, which some would take more time to elaborate and in genexus, it takes much less time.

What I do not like is that its simplicity can also be its weakness, since it does not support everything, that is to say that the customization is very restrictive due to the typecasting of some parts of the generator and if there are very complex genexus projects, it becomes somewhat unstable The support from the company is somewhat poor since you have to specify the problem too well and sometimes it requires a very long time for a response, there is also little support on the internet, which is a very small thing if you have to resort to the support of the company

Genexus itself with a more expert partner, created web pages for the company's sales management, thus simplifying the files that it had, they do not depend on so many excellent as before and the integration with uipath for other tasks that can be given to a robot that executes them

how you can easily perform db operations.

limitations, lack of great features of modern programming languages, at this point it should be integrated with git, the versioning tool is limitated, the unit testing tool is slow and does not count with basic unit testing features.

Genexus solves the need of counting with complex frameworkfor handling db connection pools and eliminates the necesity of having complex design patterns which causes nightmares in the long term

The concept, some of the implementation.

Pricing structure Very limited and very pricey candidates to hire

When I used it for a couple of years. Found issues that the technical team was not abe to resolve.
