We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Mendix 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."With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"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."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"It's expensive for a company."
"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."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"I would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
