We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode and GeneXus 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."The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"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 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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."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."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly."
"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."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"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 would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
