We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy.""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.""With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects.""With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead.""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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's.""It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."

"It is very easy to build applications on the product.""It is a very, very scalable tool.""Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages.

Cons
"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 front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end.""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.""There are issues in integrating it with other solutions.""It's expensive for a company.""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."

More GeneXus Cons →

"The platform's technical support services need improvement.""They should allow for more UI customization.""Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems.""The UI must be improved.""I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product.""Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls.""The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs.""The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."

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."

  • "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."

  • "We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."

The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
  • "I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
  • "The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
  • "Anyone can start using the solution with less than 15 to 30 dollars a month per user. It is worth the money."
