We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Pega BPM 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."This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"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."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"Pega is a local platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective. This allows teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"The workflows are the most valuable features, particularly for us, because we were attempting to automate processes by utilizing workflows to provide a hands-off comparison between the bot and the human."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
"The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product."
"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."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"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."
"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."
"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 previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"It's called a local platform but on the other hand, it needs a lot of experience. It's not all that easy to click and plug and play. If you really want to use all the features out of this platform, you definitely need a lot of experience and a lot of training to get there."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"Pega should work on redefining their model and creating a demand for their skills."
"Compared to other BPM products, the interface is somewhat complex, so the usability could be improved."
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
