We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Microsoft Power Apps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"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."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"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's a very workable solution because it's an automated way of making applications. You have a template, you have the application know-how,"
"If you want something that you can use for cellphones, multiple tablets, and things like that, you can use PowerApps for the front end. It gathers all the information, and the information goes somewhere else."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is easy to design automation processes."
"There are a lot of different applications; you can connect PowerApps, or Flow, or Power BI to many different types of applications to interchange data."
"The tool helps simplify tasks like conference room bookings, onboarding new employees, managing documentation processes, or handling form submissions; PowerOps can adapt to various use cases. Its ability to develop templates and seamlessly integrate data makes it a valuable tool. It can be integrated with Microsoft Copilot."
"There is value in being able to collect and compare information in real-time to present alternatives for correcting vulnerabilities."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"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."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"Customization is somewhat complicated."
"The solution should move to the next step in its maturity model and include mobile versions for Android and iOS."
"Its user interface can be better. It is good, but it can be a bit clunky."
"Microsoft could streamline monitoring and management. In addition, it should be easier to put the solution in different environments. For example, you should be able to move from a dev environment to a production environment seamlessly."
"PowerApps is still a bit new compared to a slightly more mature product such as OutSystems."
"The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
