We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode and GeneXus 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 of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"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 find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"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."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
