We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Salesforce Platform 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."
"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."
"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."
"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 front-end features are the most valuable."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"We like that the technology is very agile and flexible in the sense that there's a large partner ecosystem within Salesforce Platform. This enables us to choose from many different partners with different advantages, and all of it can be done in a plug-and-play kind of way."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"The stability has been great."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"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 tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"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."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"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."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"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."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"Sometimes what will happen is we work on it and then we move to a different tab and work on something else. After five minutes, when we come back, it automatically signs out."
"Salesforce Platform could improve the UI and the responsiveness of their servers. The UI needs to be made user-friendly for all users."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
