Making a new version of a current Software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to Use and also for feature. It is using by our clients. #### Cons Need more topics about the Genexus. still not that easy to Understand by Engineers --- ### All in all a good product - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Claudio B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We landed on GeneXus looking for a CASE for the development of mobile applications and it allowed us, in a short time, to create some applications for Android and IOS with good results. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Once you understand the mechanisms and rules of product development, good results can be achieved. In our case it integrates perfectly with our management software with different databases (postgres, mysql, etc.), using apache tomcat and java #### Cons We would need more support for java and apache tomcat and linux based solutions #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus The learning curve is totally more accessible, application development times are not even comparable, costs are much more suitable --- ### The true value of GeneXus as a low code platform. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We are development software for the Tire Retail and Retreading industry where there are not many options to choose for this industry, especially retreading. We have done a number of interfaces with large tire corporations. GeneXus being a low code platform has allowed us to remain lean thus reducing overhead without suffering productivity losses. In my experience I was able to reduce the size of a development team in a COBOL shop from 14 developers down to 2 developers and a project manager without loss of productivity. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There are many features to like about this development tool and the company that makes it. GeneXus is very in tune with technology and the trends and where its going. This allows me the comfort in knowing that when a digital wave comes I will not have to learn a new development tool in order to build solutions for the new technology. GeneXus has allowed me to carry my hard work from the 90's and without having to reprogram and rewrite thus preserving my hard work. I have literally brought AS/400 code to the windows client/server and then to the web. #### Cons GeneXus has just about filled my wish list over the years. They really listen to their customer base and are genuine in doing so. I personally would like to see more on how to take advantage of things such as Live Video streaming as video content is huge these days. GeneXus does interact with a smart device camera but I'd like to see it become easier, especially with the web. This may already be in existence with their new GeneXus 16 version and I've just not read about it. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Much simpler to learn the coding language, building databases, managing structural database table changes without data loss. #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Ease of use, ability to target more platforms, (AS/400, .Net, Java, Ruby, etc..) and databases (Informix, MS-SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc..). --- ### Software Development with GeneXus - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jeff R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros GeneXus deals with so many details of application development (like database definition, reorganization and data conversion), has so many features that speed up the development process (like patterned User Experience and multiexperience), and gives you the ability to migrate from one platform/language to another easily that it gives you the chance to utilize technology and focus on business problems instead of worrying about technology and business problems. I've also experienced technology changes throughout the years as various languages have come and gone, our applications that were based on those technologies were simply regenerated into the next language and kept going. GeneXus allows you to develop truly future-proof applications. You focus on the business problems and let GeneXus worry about the technology. #### Cons GeneXus deals with so many technical details and that frees you up to not have to worry about every little technical detail. However, this is a double-edged-sword. You can fall into the trap or letting GeneXus worry about everything to the point that you can become out of touch with technology trends. --- ### A tool to develop quickly without having to know all the technologies web and mobile in detail - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Osvaldo P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Genexus allowed us to start developing in technologies that we did not know very quickly, such as apps for android and iOS and web applications. We have quickly been able to make developments with the latest technologies for our clients. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - The ease of integrating with any technology -It does not require that the developer have knowledge of all the technologies for web and mobile development. - Ease of prototyping which allows a quick definition of what should be developed. #### Cons Documentation does not help to solve problems and is sometimes insufficient. In addition, the way of versioning the product often means that a problem with one version can only be solved with a new version with the consequent need to test the development. #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Because the tool we use is client server. --- ### Excellent tool for corporate web and mobile apps - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sergio P. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. We have been using GeneXus for more than 10 years now. When we started developing our ERP software for the apparel industry, one of the biggest decisions we had to make was the tools we would use to build it. We looked at many options, some of them similar to GeneXus, and also traditional software development tools like C# and Java. We decided to use GeneXus because of the multi-platform, multi-database options. Also, we have a small team of developers and cross training was important to us. Once a developer learns how to use GeneXus, they can use it to create a Web application, an iPhone app or an Android App. All from the same source code. For example, the same developer was able to create a desktop and a tablet screen for order entry. The same developer, using the same knowledge and the same programming tools is the most efficient way to develop applications. The productivity of the tool is amazing. Although it is hard to measure, we estimate a 500% to 1000% increase in productivity. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Productivity, cross platform, simplicity. #### Cons Not free. --- ### A development team in a terminal - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Pablo B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered In some complex situations automatic code generation becomes cumbersome to control. We develop complex and mission-critical systems with a high degree of customer satisfaction. We generate quality functional prototypes in record time thanks to the ease of use of the tool and the organization of modules for coolant reuse, added to a high range of additional tools such as patterns and other varied and numerous extensions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I take care of the specific business, everything standard is previously solved. #### Cons In some complex situations automatic code generation becomes cumbersome to control --- ### Genexus experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: José Alfonso Q. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It allows the development of critical mission applications in record time, ISO audit systems, invoicing, audited warehouse systems, mobile application development, etc; and the best allows to select between JAVA, NET, NET core #### Cons it still has very specific things that it can improve, some of its controls do not have updated documentation #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Because of its friendly interface and easy use --- ### Desarrollos simples, rápidos y eficientes - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Luis V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Muy favorable. Se aprende rapidísimo y los resultados son excelentes #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Al ser un entorno declarativo, es muy fácil desarrollar aplicaciones. A medida que declaramos, documentamos y el código se genera automáticamente. #### Cons No hemos tenido tiempo de migrar a nuevas versiones, por lo que la actual Evo3 tiene problemas que esperamos estén resueltas an las últimas versiones. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Por la experiencia de otros compañeros. #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Porque Genexus nos permitía desarollar rápidamente en entorno web. Además nos permitía conectarnos con otros sistemas rápidamente, cosa que con el entorno anterior se hacía difícil. --- ### Genexus - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Diego C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Bastante buena #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros La facilidad de multiplataforma, su tipo de compilación y tener un solo codigo fuente que nos sirva para compilar en varios lenguajes. #### Cons El desarrollo de smart device va muy lento comparado con los IDE oficiales en cuanto a APIS, y en cuanto a la compilacion en el caso de Android studio los requisitos para publicar en Play Sotore van solicitando cada vez alto nivel de API, y tipo de archivo en lugar de .apk ahora solicitan .aab cosa que genexus aun no hace. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Por la facilidad de uso. #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Por la posibilidad de desarrollar un unico codigo fuente y compile en multiplataforma --- ### 17 anos com Genexus. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Eu conheci o Genexus em agosto de 2003 e desde então venho trabalhando com ele diariamente. Primeiro com os ambientes client/server, passando pelo ambiente de mainframe com o Cobol 400 e depois para o ambiente web com Java e .Net(C#). Comecei com as versões 2.1 (VB5 e Fox Pro) e 3.0 (VB6 e Cobol 400) simultaneamente, depois evoluindo para a 7.5(VB6), a 8.0(VB6), a 9.0(VB6, C# e Java), e no últimos anos apenas com ambiente Java/Web na versão GXEv1. Hoje temos alguns produtos na versão GX15 mas grande parte ainda roda com o GXEv1. O Genexus tem sido meu ganha pão desde que sai da faculdade e sou grato pela experiência de trabalhar com essa ferramenta, única em sua categoria. Espero que o preço da ferramenta para nós usuários finais um dia seja mais acessível. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Posso dizer que a forma como Genexus mantém nossos projetos, principalmente quando eles estão ficando grandes, muito grandes mesmo é relativamente única. Não é só a facilidade de manter o mesmo projeto utilizando versões e distribuições de Bancos de Dados diferentes ou mesmo linguagens e plataformas diferentes. Mas de fato você tem numa única ferramenta a possibilidade de manter seu projeto em vários ecossistemas diferentes, com um mínimo de esforço e atendendo as exigências de diferentes cenários, prazos e clientes. Você também consegue facilmente rastrear objetos num nível de profundidade incrível. Se quero saber em que telas, relatórios ou procedures um determinado atributo (field) da tabela CLIENTE por exemplo é usado, ou mesmo quais objetos a minha tela acessa (faz referência), isso é muito fácil com o Genexus e reduz muito a localização dos pontos de manutenção. Hoje a equipe que integro mantém um grande sistema de missão crítica com Genexus e não sei como faria isso com outra ferramenta, não com os prazos que temos atender. #### Cons Alguns recursos que as vezes funcionavam bem em versões passadas acabam ficando impraticáveis em novas versões. Por exemplo a ferramenta de Debug, que funcionava muito bem nas versões Ev1 a Ev3, mas da versão 15 em diante ficou muito lenta e torna o debug impraticável. Quando saí do ambiente Desktop para o Web, também sofri um pouco com algumas coisas que simplesmente pararam de funcionar. Mas a mudança de ambiente também tem um pouco de culpa nisso pois a web tem um dinâmica diferente dos antigos sistemas over Desktop. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Não sou o responsável pela escolha. Sou um mero analista. No entanto a empresa usa o Genexus como a principal ferramenta a mais de duas décadas, desde as primeiras versões. Na época, ferramentas para Java estavam engatinhando. As mais conhecidas no Brasil eram o Delphi da Borland e o Visual Studio da Microsoft. Assim, os grandes sistemas que empresa comercializa nasceram e evoluíram com o Genexus. --- ### Flexibilidade, qualidade e redução de custos - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: PAULO E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Trabalhamos com o GeneXus há mais de 25 anos, desde a versão GX 2.0. Em todos esse período, muitas linguagens surgiram e desapareceram. O GeneXus tem sido uma ferramenta, um companheiro indispensável em todo este contexto de constantes mudanças na área de desenvolvimento de aplicações. Continuamos desenvolvendo aplicações alinhadas com as mais novas tecnologias e tendências do mercado e, nesse tempo todo, não investimento um centavo em cursos de programação de novas linguagens. Todo o investimento que temos aplicado no GeneXus tem trazido resultados excelentes, com aplicações de qualidade, tanto para nossos clientes como para nossa empresa. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Poder gerar aplicações em diversas linguagens, acessando uma infinidade de banco de dados em qualquer plataforma (win, web e smartdevice) sem ter que programar uma linha de código é fantástico! #### Cons Tivemos algumas dificuldades principalmente para gerar aplicações para smartdevices. Vários erros de complicação onde não fica claro qual é a origem do problema e perdemos bastante tempo, entre várias tentativas, somente para descobrir a causa do erro. A percepção é que há condições sensíveis na programação onde pequenas coisas geram erros de compilação. Com o tempo, vamos pegando o jeito. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Por ter a flexibilidade em gerar aplicações em várias plataformas, linguagens e banco de dados. #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Principalmente porque o GeneXus nos permitiu focar em soluções para os clientes, ao invés de ter que investir esforços e recursos em linguagens de programação. Um exemplo simples é que, quando há uma necessidade de alteração em uma aplicação já desenvolvida solicitada por um cliente, o fazemos tranquilamente, sem nenhuma "desculpas" para o cliente, só porque vai dar "trabalho". Numa linguagem de programação convencional, sempre há a tendência de tirar essa ideia de mudar o sistema para o cliente, porque vai demandar muitas horas de programação... --- ### Genexus una forma Agil para desarrollar Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Marco Antonio F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Es una herramienta que la uso desde el año 1990 en sus primeras versiones Gx. 7.0, Genexus evoluciona a través del tiempo con los distintos lenguajes que aparecen en el mercado y los acopla a su tecnología para que te sea muy fácil usarlos. Esta herramienta me ayudo como analista programador a poder aplicar y concentrarme en la realidad del negocio y luego automatizarla; sus objetos y forma de trabajar a través de sus base de conocimiento (KB) te permiten poder trabajar con múltiples modelos de arquitectura de desarrollo usando motores de base de datos distintas y lenguajes de programación diversos, con tan solo aplicar el lenguaje de programación Gx y aplicar código nativo en ciertas partes del código que uno desea detallar. Muy recomendable su uso. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Es una herramienta con objetos muy sencillos y fácil de programar con un lenguaje claro y conciso, te permite trabajar en una KB - Base de conocimiento, con múltiples arquitecturas, es una herramienta Ágil que te ayuda a construir desde simple prototipos hasta complejas funcionalidades. Además cuenta con una plataforma que te brinda capacitación y apoyo en el uso de esta herramienta y tiene comunidades donde se comparte experiencia y te brindan solución a cualquier tipo de problema. #### Cons Es una herramienta muy completa con funcionalidades muy buenas que en algunos también vienen por separado y/o se actualizan a una mejor versión y para tenerlas debes pagar por su licencia de uso. --- ### Desarrolla ágilmente y de manera segura con Genexus - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oscar I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Las ventajas que aporta GeneXus es que en este mundo tecnológico que va cambiando rápidamente no tienes que estar corriendo detrás de todas las tecnologías o lenguajes de programación que van saliendo constantemente, GeneXus te permite ir migrando y actualizándote a lo largo de los años en una misma plataforma sin necesidad de cambios tan profundos en los conocimientos técnicos de los analistas o Ingenieros de desarrollo, por otro lado tienes varias opciones de generar en varios lenguajes y en trabajar con distintos manejadores de bases de datos, lo que te permite escoger entre los Sistemas operativos Windows o Linux. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Lo que más me gusta es la rapidez con las que se pueden desarrollar funcionalidades de software sin tener un ejército de personas programando, los desarrolladores de GeneXus son Full Stack, con un desarrollador GeneXus no necesitas tener una persona que desarrolle en el Back End y otra en el Front End, se pueden desarrollar desde sistemas sencillos hasta sistemas de alto impacto en el negocio, a lo largo de mi experiencia me he encontrado con empresas donde tienen sus sistemas críticos desarrollados en GeneXus por ejemplo una empresa de Telecomunicaciones con su sistema de facturación desarrollado en GeneXus, una consultora con su producto estrella un Core bancario desarrollado en GeneXus, una financiera con su sistema de ventas y gestión de créditos desarrollados en GeneXus y así muchos casos más. #### Cons En cuanto a la UX en algunas ocasiones cuesta un poco que el Front End quede de la manera más vistosa y llamativa posible, hay que apoyarse en lo que ofrecen otras empresas aliadas de GeneXus que comercializan patters y plantillas para hacer más bonitas las pantallas. --- ### Mi evaluación Genexus como herramienta desarrollo - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Adan Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Las ventajas son múltiples: 1- Poder tener una Base de conocimiento que es escalable en el Tiempo. 2- Tener un orden en la creación de objetos, por su tipo y función. Esto lo hace fácil de darle un mantenimiento programa, ya que cualquier programador GX, sabrá donde buscar. 3.- Tiene la capacidad de Manejar versionado Local / Centralizado. 4.- Si aprender Genexus , es como haber aprendido unos 10 Lenguajes al mismo tiempo. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros La facilidad de Integrar nuevos desarrolladores, aunque desconozcan completamente la herramienta, he tenido la experiencia que a partir de las 2 semanas de entrenamiento, el recursos ya me esta produciendo programas con una calidad aceptable. Considero que es una de las ventajas de tener a GX. También tener la facilidad de múltiples integraciones, generar varios lenguajes de programación y tener una amplia documentación en la nube. #### Cons Como todo herramienta tiene sus contras: a) Velocidad que genera el código final (Especificación / Compilación), esto dependerá mucho de la arquitectura del PC. b) El desarrollador debe de estar claro que en la herramienta se diseña, el interpreta y genera software , no es un lenguaje de programación nativo. #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Estoy utilizando Genexus por la experiencia de conocerlo y utilizarlo hace 26 años, y considero que fue la mejor inversión en tiempo y dinero que la empresa realizo y se han hecho muchos desarrollos que todavía siguen corriendo en versiones antiguas, pero siguen funcionando sin inconvenientes. --- ### Considerações - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Guilherme M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. No começo tivemos muita dificuldade e a curva de aprendizado foi alta, embora o que sempre foi passado foi que era algo mais fácil de aprender. Hoje tenho muito mais facilidade, porém não me animo muito por ter um mercado de trabalho baixo, sendo utilizado muitas vezes por poucas empresas e empresas que fogem do ramo de desenvolvimento de sistemas (muitas mantem sistemas com versões bem antigas do Genexus). Ultimamente estou tendo muitos problemas com a versão 17, onde alguns quebrou vários layouts de tela nosso no sistema Android, o que me impediu de migrar totalmente da 16 para 17. Mesmo abrindo chamados, e a correção sendo feita, ainda assim em algumas telas o problema continuou. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Facilidade e rapidez no desenvolvimento, embora a curva de aprendizado foi um pouco alta #### Cons Algumas funcionalidades muito utilizadas em sistemas atuais não está disponível no Genexus, como exemplo painéis de kanbam onde é possível arrastar e soltar itens com facilidade. O valor também, por ser um pouco alto deixa o software, pelo menos em minha região, pouco difundido e com poucas oportunidades de trabalho, fazendo com que eu tenha que sempre estar me atualizando com tecnologias como nodejs, .net core etc, onde se encontra oportunidades de trabalho #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Decisão da diretoria que queria fazer um sistema com urgência #### Reasons for switching to GeneXus Decisão da diretoria que queria fazer um sistema com urgência --- ### Intuitivo y accesible - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Luis David A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Gracias a que GeneXus permite generar el código necesario para implementar una solución, es posible poder realizar diferentes enfoques en aspectos de nuestro proyecto que pueden fortalecer y hacer enfatizar en características distintivas sobre cualquier proyecto, diseño, lógica e interacción con el usuario. #### Cons Quizá uno de los puntos no tan favorables de esta herramienta, es que se debe estudiar y analizar de la mejor manera la lógica y forma en la que trabaja la plataforma, pues puede que existan algunos conceptos con cierto nivel de complejidad que pueden requerir de una atención mayor para poder entender por completo las buenas practicas de trabajar con GeneXus --- ### Uma empresa criada com Genexus - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Miguel Delonei B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Trabalho com Genexus a 26 anos, desde 1993, versão 1.A em ambiente MS DOS. Logo em seguida partimos para a versão Win, gerando client Server com VB e bancos Oracle e SQL Server, e atualmente rodamos Java sob browser. Todas as mudanças e paradigmas de desenvolvimento de software neste período foram atravessados juntos a Genexus. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Um dos grandes diferenciais do Delsoft é a autonomia de tecnologias que posso disponibilizar ao meu cliente. Atualmente temos produtos rodando em client Server Windows, temos produtos full web, e produtos em Smart Devices. Todas as soluções são 100% desenvolvidas em Genexus. Esta flexibilidade e adptação a diversos ambientes tecnológicos são únicos em uma ferramenta de desenvolvimento #### Cons Em muitos casos gera código fonte em demasia, inchando o produto final #### Reasons for choosing GeneXus Eu deixei o desenvolvimento em linguagens normais (Cobol e Clipper na época) e resolvi abrir um negócio 100% com desenvolvimento em Genexus. Foi a escolha que me permitiu atualizar meus clientes sem mudar de ferramenta. --- ### Una herramienta completa - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlos E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. En general la experiencia es positiva, la facilidad de generar aplicaciones multiplataforma y que no se requiere un conocimiento avanzado para empezar, le ha permitido a mi empresa construir un ERP. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Su curva de aprendizaje, en la empresa tenemos varios casos de personas que en menos de un mes lograron integrarse al equipo de manera eficiente y empezar a realizar cambios en sistemas en producción. #### Cons El aspecto visual, para lograr una apariencia moderna se debe recurrir a herramientas de terceros o invertir mucho tiempo en diseños personalizados. --- ### Desarrollando con GX desde el 2003 - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlos L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Medical Devices - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. He podido desarrollar aplicaciones con tiempos sensiblemente mejores que si hubiera trabajado con lenguajes convencionales.
