Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"The integration module is the most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"I like the testing models, which allow me to create unit or interface tests of my programs. It helps us avoid missed deadlines because we can detect all the errors before deploying the new versions of the solution. And I also like the integration with coding managers like DevOps or Jenkins. It enables us to do versioning."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"One valuable feature of Azure App Service for us is its integration with Azure DevOps, which we heavily rely on in our development process."
"The feature I find most valuable is the 'Diagnose and Solve problem' function. This not only allows us to fix a problem, but also to generate analytics on why the issue occurred."
"The solution can scale."
"It's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"GeneXus is a wonderful tool for the backend. It's the best in the world, but for the frontend, GeneXus needs to improve. There should be easier steps for managing various aspects, such as alerts and messages to show to the end-users."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"Documentation is always an issue. In order to develop with GeneXus, there is very little documentation. The documentation is not clear enough in order to develop a great tool."
"We would like to see more extensions and more user controls added to the front-end of this solution, in order to help developers manage the website."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
