I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Offers a simplified architecture with outstanding integration capabilities
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# .

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"The solution provides ease of programming and the speed of delivery of demands."
"The integration capabilities of GeneXus are highly valuable for our organization"
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"After you go through the learning process, this solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"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."
"With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"The front-end features are the most valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"The graphical interface could be improved. I also notice some performance problems on hardware that should be more than adequate. GeneXus uses a lot of RAM and other computer resources."
"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."
"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."
"The tool needs to be tuned before being used. You need some experience to get the best out of the tool."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the company would provide additional assisted processing with training, more instances where you can find training."
"Code generation is highly time-consuming for GeneXus"
"GeneXus's user interface has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"The price is good."
"I don't know about the price because I am an employee, but I hear it's cheaper than other tools."
"People tend to work with GeneXus if it's cheap, but GeneXus does have licensing policies...Moreover, the cost of resourcing work in GeneXus may make it more expensive than other programming languages."
"This solution offers multi-plan licenses, depending on the size of the company and the features required, as opposed to being priced per user/device."
"It's expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The cost of a GeneXus license is extremely high. At the same time, one person using the solution can do the work of three Java or data developers. I think that's why they charge so much. It's too expensive, which is one reason it isn't widely used."
