We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"In Knowledge Base, being able to model the workflow before developing the screens is great. We first work with the tables or the transactions using GeneXus and then we work on the screens."
"I like that it's very compatible with other tools. The most important feature is getting the developer to focus on the project's business case. It's not about focusing on how I can command this or how I can develop a front end, or how I can work with the advantages. The developer should focus on the business case of the project. No need to focus on connecting the database to the server or connecting the server and the front end. The developer can concentrate on the views."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"The cost is reasonable."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image."
"This solution is easy to deploy."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"It would be better if GeneXus had a wiki. The developer needs some experience to work with the tools. It would be better if they could improve the community. If we have some problem, I open a ticket that takes us to a board, and I have to describe my issue in detail. If the tools have a general community for us to explore with some videos or some articles, I think that that may help the developer."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"The graphical interface could be improved. I also notice some performance problems on hardware that should be more than adequate. GeneXus uses a lot of RAM and other computer resources."
"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."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
