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."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."
"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 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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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."
"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"I like the containerization of Azure."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that PowerApps can be used by most business users. It is not only for programmers."
"It's very easy to build an app using this solution."
"The solution works great and is stable."
"You can easily connect Power Apps with other databases, like Excel, SharePoint, SQL, etc."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"The fact that we couldn't share that with our other organization or outside of the organization, consisting of our colleagues in the joint ventures, was a weakness of the solution."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"Its user interface can be better. It is good, but it can be a bit clunky."
"It would be good if this solution supports standard BPN operations. We are thinking of switching to a BPM solution next year because it is not a BPM solution."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
