GeneXus

Pros

easy for developer, easy for implementation

Cons

is very expensive, an developer can't buy this amazing solution

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.

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.

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

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
