"One of the best Business app development platforms"
What do you like best about Progress OpenEdge?

4GL and aeasy to code and can develop products easily. It was the very first languag that I enterned the carrier as a software engineer and it has helped me to master the basics and to learn more advanced coding techniques with Openedge. OpenEdge is a powerful framework for building CRUD application. The core ABL (OpenEdge language) is different enough a language from the mainstream to be interesting for an inquisitive programmer and for your bosses arguments for everyone to understand where the others are coming from to make sense. It is never a bad idea to learn new (and different!) languages. It keeps the mind working and teaches you concepts that might not be available in your language.

What do you dislike about Progress OpenEdge?

Licensing is a bit pricy for small business to make useful especially for the asian countries so if we can get it for a reduced price it has a very higher chnge of getting more famous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress OpenEdge?

Since the release of classroom editions it has opened it's doors to a wider audience, it's a shame it took so long for this to happen but is a welcome addition to those wishing to learn the language. A more diverse training regime including more YouTube or social media outlets for learning would be a welcome addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Progress OpenEdge?

Not much competition, you might get the package you ask Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not many opportunities are there, many are working on outdated versions.

"8 years experience from a Progress developer"
What do you like best about Progress OpenEdge?

Progress OpenEdge is a fourth generation programming language which can be used to access database queries with your business logic. Plus the Object Orient functionality enables the smooth and well structured programming. It has every functionality needed for software development built in. Plus with additional products of progress, we can build fully fledged software systems when needed.

The query language is quite simple and more close to the human language therefore making it easy for users to build even complex queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress OpenEdge?

Less community and support. Unlike the other programming languages, Progress OpenEdge has very small community and it

is rather difficult to find solutions without calling Progress Support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
