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 front-end features are the most valuable."
"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."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"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 fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"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 can have a SharePoint list and connect with users through PowerApps to present the information."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"Flexibility, easy setup, and fairly quick results are valuable features of the product."
"If you want something that you can use for cellphones, multiple tablets, and things like that, you can use PowerApps for the front end. It gathers all the information, and the information goes somewhere else."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"It’s a stable product."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"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."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"As far as dealing with SharePoint, it'll allow you to ha manage up to 2000 rows, however, performance-wise, they're recommending that you just keep it at the default of 500 rows."
"The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"They probably need to improve intelligent document processing."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"The solution must provide more integration with third-party applications."
"It's sometimes hard to import groups of options. At this point, I need to enter those manually and it slows the process down."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"I recommend improving Microsoft Power Apps' licensing model. I've encountered challenges related to licensing complexity, which has led some customers to opt for traditional solution development and deployment methods instead."
