Powerbuilder is extremely efficient when developing and deploying applications. The framework in which it operates using objects like the Datawindow mean that the prototype can be created in an amazingly short time, This allows developer(s) to deliver and refine to users who can more easily envisage the use of the application.
PowerBuilder is really, really solid. I have worked on legacy systems which are still working happily after 25 years with unmodified code. Should the code need to be changed the almost infinite backwards compatibility means that the code investment is maintained.
Later versions of the tool, especially since Appeon took over, allow a modern feel and integration with any modern environment.
The support from both Appeon and the PowerBuilder Community is second to none. You can have confidence when using techniques or aspects new to your organisation that there will be support including example code and helpful responses to questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PowerBuilder is limited to Microsoft and the PC as a client. More mobile options would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
