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."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."
"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."
"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."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"It is stable."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application. We are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software. Our workflows and processes have evolved and improved. The fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"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 not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"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's no direct tech support."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"It is expensive."
