Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my experience GeneXus is the fastest solution for creating apps and software solutions, new versions have powerful functions and [integrations]. The interface with SAP and the facilities for make web services SOAP and REST is amazing, the customers are happy with this low-code platform in their solutions. I think this software is very easy and useful.

With one customer we implemented support solutions, integrated with Remedy and Jira. In another case, I developed a solution for customer services integrated with another .net solution. I remember another project where we made a publicity app with Facebook authenticated.

Pros

  • Faster coding.
  • Easier integration with another platform.
  • Easier to make an app.

Likelihood to Recommend

Perhaps scientific research applications are not the best scenario to use GeneXus, but particularly many scenarios can be used from different fields, commerce, production, business intelligence, advertising, media, etc., I cannot think of any scenario in that GeneXus cannot work effectively.

The easy way to give customer solutions

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GeneXus as our first option for developt a solution for the customer. After that, we select, in the customer environment, if the solution will be deployed in .Net or Java. The DBMS is an extra decision because if we use GeneXus, we all know that those decisions will have a minor impact on the development time and the number of members involved in the programming, deployment, and support.

For agile models, GeneXus helps a lot to make faster, added-value solutions.

Pros

  • Easy solution.
  • Available for mobile, .Net, Java.
  • You can work with almost any DBMS and change it in the process without starting again from scratch.

Cons

  • Some errors at building time that are difficult to figure out. In the deployment and executions, sometimes you get errors not easy to figure out.
  • Now it's fast, but when you create a large solution, it slows down.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use it for web-based solutions, mobile apps, and solutions that you need to interact with legacy systems by SOA architecture. If the customer needs an easy solution and needs to have a first module ready quickly, GeneXus is easy and the best solution for this. Projects go from the programmer desktop to the web in less time.
