We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Microsoft Azure App Service 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."I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"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."
"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 the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"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 most beneficial aspect of Microsoft Azure App Service is its automated DevOps deployment, which includes configurations that ensure secure connections to key vault and database resources."
"This solution is easy to deploy."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do."
"It's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"It's expensive for a company."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
