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."The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"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 the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"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."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"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 much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"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."
"The technical support is perfect."
"OutSystems' low-cost approach has positively impacted our productivity, because we were able to develop faster with OutSystems, enabling us to implement many changes during our sprint."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the 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."
"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."
"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."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"The product could be improved if there was a shortcut, or predefined, predictable templates provided."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Mobile apps should have been fully native."
"The solution is costly."
"There is room for improvement in technical support."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
