Linx

Avantages

Very helpful in providing access to developer partners to implement a complete solution, and provide customer access after for easy maintenance.

Inconvénients

There's nothing I don't like, but the only con is that it doesn't have the most user-friendly interface, relative to competitors, but since those competitors cost more than 50 times as much, there's no real competition when all is considered.

Avantages

Linx Designer, and Linx Server, are easy to use and we use Linx to develop our integration platforms that are connected to many systems, all easily and effectively

Inconvénients

Version Control will be vital / could be improved in Linx because we need that to control any changes to applications within the software development lifecycle

Pourquoi passer à Linx

Avantages

My initial assessment is unbiased, the application is easy to deploy. The Linx IDE and Linx Server both maintained a very reasonable memory footprint. I didn't have any lag during build or deployment phases.

Inconvénients

My primary concern is dependency issues that involve deploying to Linx Server. My secondary issue is the lack of importing other projects files from other popular ide's. Not having direct Visual Studio support in regard to syncing projects is a major affair. The Linx "bundle" (ide, and server) just doesn't extend the type of functionality need for today's developer. If the deployment model is changed to include other platforms, Linx could justify itself as a potential major player. As a developer, we know beyond question that build/deployment platforms are a matter of taste or technique. That being said, this requires a great deal of flexibility when we decide to utilize a particular tool for software engineering. Linx does have a rapid build model in place that is competitive. However, do not neglect the need for sound logical principles during getting/setting datatypes. The Linx is not so "out-of-the-box" in the foregoing, very little is done by Linx behind the scenes to either generate common sql scripting from scratch or a template (which are non-existent). From my experience, true rapid application development must have drag-and-drop features. A designer view is required to implement this feature. Unfortunately, Linx fails here also.

Avantages

Once I got to grips with the interface it was easy and quick to develop all sorts of integrations between customer's line of business systems and Bitrix24. If I ever get stuck, the support I receive is amazing.

Inconvénients

It did take a bit of time to understand the interface

Avantages

I started working out of university at the beginning of the year. I got a job at a great company that used Linx software for backend development and I am extremely impressed. In comparison to the complexities of other coding languages... syntax and spelling errors and that is before you have even started to contemplate deployment; Linx makes coding a breeze to implement and deploy your logic. Being my first low code software tool, I was worried that it may be restrictive in what you can do, however, I have since developed multiple processes and API being used in the financial services industry and have never felt Linx to limit my imagination in terms of what can be achieved. Furthermore, when it comes to debugging, Linx allows for simple step-throughs as it should be with software programs, and deployment is then as easy as uploading a file (actually easier with the new update). The low-code, drag-and-drop nature of the application accommodates making minimal mistakes and allows for rapid development. Linx is thus a tool I would recommend to anyone needing backend software solutions.

Inconvénients

I am extremely impressed with Linx and how it works. For the last just under a year I have not found to be limited in any way and am continuously impressed with what can be achieved with the program. I look forward to using it more and finding a con (if possible).

Avantages

As a consulting firm helping our clients solve complex systems integration challenges we have found Linx to be an excellent toolkit that includes an environment that supports the development of the collecting of data from multiple source types, transforming that data as required using multiple techniques, then delivering the results to multiple target systems. It also thereafter supports the continuous automated processing of the results of the development work as an unattended server service. As a result we have solved many different systems integration challenges including as our clients needs have evolved.

Inconvénients

The Help functionality in version 4 is limited, making the toolkit less of a self sufficient solution that it might otherwise be. However the level of support means this is not a practical problem, which in any case is due to be addressed in version 5.

Avantages

The best thing about Linx is that it provides a quick,concise low-code environment to copy files and talk to APIs that is easy to deploy to the server. The Xero plug-in is fully functional and provides comprehensive access to the Xero API

Inconvénients

Linx requires you to understand the APIs that you are talking to, there are limited pre-built solutions.

Avantages

We compared a lot of complex solutions such as Talend, KNIME etc. No one of these were as easy to use as Linx. Linx brings everything you need in the daily business to automate your processes and take the next step in digitalizing your business... it's just awesome!

Inconvénients

I couldn't find any negative aspects. :)

Avantages

Great features that can be used to automated routine tasks as well and run complex workflows. The support team are very quick to respond to queries and provide useful information. In my tests so far, I have been very happy with the product and support.

Inconvénients

None so far. From my brief testing I have not come across anything major lacking in the product. Any queries I had were answered promptly and accurately by very knowledgeable staff.

Avantages

Pick and drop features was an easy to use in very development.

Inconvénients

Most of the features has no hints to give you which makes difficult to develop

Avantages

quicky, easy to get concept into operation. No code, but comprehensive in ability to produce solutions

Inconvénients

just a few UI glitches with traversing menus/lists. Web services manager seems sluggish when presenting a number of solutions ( 10+), could be browser related however

Avantages

First of i would say that Linx is the perfect software for all the back-end process automation in any field and would make all the back-end process to done automotive easily

Inconvénients

To be frank Linx could provide with a even better User Interface and also have few more tutorials to explain the features

Avantages

LINX allows me to cut the time it takes to create a data integration solution. I can make many of the same system connections in less time than writing a custom code solution.

All of my customers are in the SMB market and LINX allows me to provide them the same powerful solutions that the more massive companies have access too and at a price point that fits nicely in the SMB budgets.

Inconvénients

The thing that I like the least is I am not able to document my solution in LINX and then print out a copy or save to PDF. Although, I would not consider this a reason to not use this product it does make creating a solution for a client a little more cumbersome.

Avantages

Easy of use, fast time-to-market solution implementation, excellent customer support, designer free of charges.

Inconvénients

Pricing policy per solution, it's uncommon in a on-premise solution.

Avantages

It’s easy to use and fits in our existing system

Inconvénients

The interaction becomes sluggish when doing a testing of the script steps

Avantages

Ease of use, install and to learn, easy deployment

Inconvénients

Code editor User interface is not well organized.

Avantages

Easyness on all Most every Thing, Price and Business model not apealing

Inconvénients

To expensive, not atractive Price modell

Avantages

Easy to use, and has streamlined our office's productivity.

Inconvénients

Slow loading at times, but we've been able to manage through just fine.

Avantages

As funcionalidades do software e suas integrações são um grande avanço e tambem um grande diferencial.

Inconvénients

a unica dificulade ´s com os relatórios, mas com a exportação de dados isso se resolve basta ter um pouco de conhecimento.

Avantages

The Designer IDE is the good part of the product. Is simple to understand, to configure and very intuitive.

Inconvénients

More details on working processes and more controls on task outcome could help to have more control to the solution.

Avantages

It's Easy integration, low code and the development environment.

Inconvénients

It's setup, panel, should have light themes.

Avantages

The wide range of options and functionality, and also User friendly interface.

Inconvénients

The price of Linx Server is maybe a little bit high. But, however, the product like this must be paid of course.

Avantages

It appears to be well designed. The interface was fairly intuitive. I liked the fact that one could create workflows easily.

Inconvénients

I didn't find any serious issue with the software. Overall, there is not much not to like the software.

Avantages

I could not see any benefits in pursuing this

Inconvénients

Had alot of difficulty installing the free trial. Asked for assistance and got no response. in the end gave up

Avantages

Click, select and implement all in just a matter of minutes. There is very little coding that you need to become familiar with in order to get your app codded. All selections are field focused with a minimum of coding required.

Inconvénients

It's database of allowable functions left me wanting more. To be fair, I think there are many possible applications for this product than I had time to explore. My attention was directed towards other projects fairly quickly, and I will revisit the software as soon as I am able.
