We performed a comparison between GeneXus, Mendix, and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"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."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."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 GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"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 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."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"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."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"The most valuable features of the Salesforce Platform are the ability to manage customers' data, many report filtering options, and consolidation."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"Features they are integrating to the other services."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"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."
"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."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way"
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
