Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GeneXus evolves with technology."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"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."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"The solution helps to build mobile and web applications on SOAP and REST. You can integrate it with backend systems by submitting a code."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"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."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"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."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"Mobile apps need improvement."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"OutSystems could improve by being more like GitHub. It would be more helpful for us for division management and version control for our application."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
