Very powerful tool with some flaws

As somehow who has used GeneXus for 10+ years I've heard a lot of hate towards the tool, mostly from people who hasn't used it no longer than a training course. GeneXus those have a lot of flaws, but the concept and the potential of the tool still stand strong.

PROS

GeneXus offers the power to develop applications for almost any runtime environment and has a very strong data modelling feature. Design to prototype time is very short. GeneXus has recently put more effort in the designing of good UI adding more way of setting a design system maintainable in the long term.

CONS

When developing a big application it's possible to find some areas where GeneXus does not offer a plausible solution. Customer Support does respond rapidly but they may not be able to solve the problem or help you in the time needed for a critical project. GeneXus offers a lot of different features for different types of development projects and technologies and somehow fails while trying to cover to much terrain.

Software Development with GeneXus

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

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.

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.
