Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities.""With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects.""The front-end features are the most valuable.""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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's.""This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."

"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline.""I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment.""The product is easy to use.""There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait.""It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases.""The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product.""The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."

Cons
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it.""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.""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'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.""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.""There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."

More GeneXus Cons →

"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate.""There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.""Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. .""This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​""The dashboard is not organized.""Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is very expensive."
  • "I don't know about the price because I am an employee, but I hear it's cheaper than other tools."
  • "This solution offers multi-plan licenses, depending on the size of the company and the features required, as opposed to being priced per user/device."
  • "The cost of a GeneXus license is extremely high. At the same time, one person using the solution can do the work of three Java or data developers. I think that's why they charge so much. It's too expensive, which is one reason it isn't widely used."
  • "It's expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
  • "The price is good."
  • "I know that its licenses are generally per year, and in the past, the license for GeneXus was around $5,000, but I don't know what's the current price of the GeneXus license."

  • "The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
  • "We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
  • "Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."
  • "You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
  • "It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
  • "The product is cheap when compared to other products."
  • "The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
