It is used for some specific projects:
1. Development of transactional service platforms.
2. Presentation of integrated information from differents platforms.
3. Apps and Prototypes
4. Integrate SAP with other platforms.
5. Open in Google Translate
  • Development of prototypes or functionalities quickly and safely.
  • Management of the production cycle in a controlled and fast way.
  • Low and controlled maintenance times.
  • Low times to integrate new human resources to the project.
  • Low learning curve.
  • Update and improve documentation.
  • Improve support response times.
  • Update or provide more examples of use.
If the project has transactional implications with web interfaces and apps, and in addition, must be integrated with other platforms through APIs, GeneXus is the best option. If the project has to do with using or creating calculation programs, with interactions with a large volume of data, with strong handling of the graphic interface, or for games, GeneXus it is not recommended.

  • High level of return in man hours.
GeneXus allows you to generate code on these platforms. GeneXus allows you to double and even quadruple the times to write code to carry out similar times and in a more intuitive way.
The reason for the rating varies a lot according to the problem to be solved. In some cases the response time is good and other times it is extended, without a clear reason why. Other times the error appears in the documentation that is obsolete or outdated.
Usability of the tool by a developer who is well trained in the use of GeneXus and with good judgment is excellent. It allows them to know good practices in the generation of code for the database as well as for the backend and the frontend. It allows us to achieve better standardization within the development team and to present solutions and solve complex problems in a very simple way.

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

  • Faster return on investment.
  • Faster development.
  • Easy maintenance.
Of all the platforms and low-code solutions, GeneXus is always more complete, and more integrated with the different technologies available, it is very easy to understand each part of GeneXus, as well as its solutions.
Sometimes the support takes a little while, but in the end they always have good answers and the people who answer you are very prepared even for questions outside of GeneXus.
All is very easy.

We create innovative solutions with high speed addressing a wide range of our customer's problems: from daily basis operations to customer experience, we help with our customer's digital transformation and to be more efficient.
  • Helps create complex software solutions in different platforms/architectures such as Web, Mobile, Cloud, ChatBots, Desktop, etc.
  • Once you have achieved a seniority level of experience you can get up to 10x faster than traditional programming (Java, .NET, etc.).
  • Lets you concentrate on the business while the tool provides technical solutions that automatize software development
  • It has a great complements such as WorkWithPlus that boost GeneXus' productivity
  • Better documentation
  • Better customer service (bug fixing)
  • A Web based development environment
Well suited for business applications, mission-critical software solutions, BPM, integration with other systems, legacy modernization, etc.

Less appropriate for gaming.

  • Positive: Better time to market
  • Positive: Lower development time which concludes in better profits
  • Negative: sometimes we wish to have a faster response when having an issue
GeneXus has a wider approach in terms of the platform it supports. It has been in the market evolving with technology changes for more than 30 years. It has a better business model for the users, instead of charging for the amount of developments we make or the amount of users we have, it only charges per developer station.
It has plenty of work to do in order to improve. Needs faster customer service and better documentation.
