GeneXus Reviews

Our company uses the latest version of GeneXus. The solution is used in our company to develop various enterprise systems, and GeneXus is used as an integrator, which further facilitates low-cost development. In our company, the tool generates whole C Sharp, CSS and Javascript code against MariaDB for us and we focus totally on the functionality. GeneXus has several features, to express that and it's ideal for prototyping. 

The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization. The metadata obtained within the logic of different systems is also vital. Due to the solution, our company team doesn't have to work with multiple languages and integrations can be made with C Sharp.

JavaScript can also be used with GeneXus, the tool takes charge of all the rest and has a simple architecture. The solution can be used out of the box without facing any issues and nothing much needs to be done with frameworks. In our case we need to use Python with GeneXus, we use Ironpython to embed python code in C# .

We were modeling a workflow that included several screens with several people. It was easy because GeneXus provided us with a tool to create a workflow and then make several tests before developing the screens. 

In terms of the version, I've used GeneXus Evolution 3 and then versions 15, 16, and 17. Now, I'm working with version 18.

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. So, the most valuable feature of GeneXus is the transactions that allow us to develop the rules of the job. Procedures are also a nice component, and of course, the business component is great in order to do the insert or update.

GeneXus is fast. It takes longer to do the same things with other tools. 

I use this solution for creating projects in my company. It's a low-code platform, so we use it to create web applications from scratch.

There are 20 people using this solution in my company.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The front-end features are the most valuable.

It's a straightforward product to learn and start using as a beginner.

I've been a certificated senior GeneXus analyst since 2020. I work with GeneXus every day. I have experience with APA, web servers, receiver web, ADI with servers, developer applications, and web and mobile.

In my organization, I use agile methodology. I was working in several different fields for six to eight hours every day. Now, with the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead.

In the early 1990s, I used Microsoft's Operating System while developing applications in the United States on personal computers. After that, I started using AS/400 from IBM and generating for COBOL and RPG.

The solution can be deployed in the cloud, depending on the language it's written in. For example, if it's written in Java, it could be deployed on Tomcat, and if it's written in C#, it could be deployed on either Azure or IIS.

With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects. These objects can be used to define databases, tables, and other structures in different platforms such as Db2, SQL Server, Informix, and Oracle. GeneXus will then generate the corresponding structures, including any necessary updates, indexes, views, and more.

We use this solution to cut code and reports in PDFs.

It is fast in creating systems and connects to the database quickly. So we can invest more time in resolving the problem and focusing on the cause.

The GeneXus solution is used in various applications, and I apply it in many enterprises, including banks and insurance companies. It is also useful in social and medical enterprises.

GeneXus is a programming language that allows for the automatic insertion, updating, and deletion of information in the basic data while enabling automatic high and low modifications in the database. This feature frees up time to customize the application for other, potentially more complicated tasks. Utilizing GeneXus allows faster and cheaper program development, resulting in lower costs due to increased speed. Additionally, GeneXus offers good integration with third-party tools, which can enhance customization on the front-end, although with added complexity compared to normal. The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end.

We use this solution for developing web and mobile applications across various systems and platforms.

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.

We also like that GeneXus release an update to their IDE every three to four moths, so that it is compatible with any new operating system releases.
