Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"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."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"It is very stable."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"Integrations with external systems with SOAP and REST are easy to implement off-the-shelf, but a developer can always implement specific libraries for other integrations."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"Reduces the manual labor in compiling and deploying applications and generating procedural code (by reducing development bureaucracy/processes, resulting in real gains). The LifeTime Server approach, requiring just a few steps to publish applications in production environments, is fantastic."
"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."
"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 told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."

"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The initial setup is a little difficult."
"We'd like OutSystems to add stronger workflow-based automation similar to what Appian offers. It needs more workflow modeling and RPA features."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"The resource availability needs to be increased."
"The solution's testing framework needs to be improved, and the workflow should be slightly more mature."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
