Omnis Studio

What do you like best?

I have used Omnis for many years, their current main product in Omnis Studio, but I've used there previous incarnation, called Omnis 7, even from these early days, the solution could be developed on lets say Windows, and you could expect it to work on a Mac machine just as well, with few system based changes.

I have created many bespoke solutions for both large companies, and small companies, and we could always bring the solution to market well before we might in any other language.

The development, debugging is by far the best around, live editing and debugging can be achieved in the development version.

What do you dislike?

The pricing structure is a chunk for a new developer whom may not understand the value of their purchase, but persevere, it is for sure worth every penny.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

My use has been mainly for thick client solutions on Windows and Mac clients.

I have used the recent solution to create a phone based addition to a main product, but not extensively enough to either say good or bad things about it, except to say, we probably created the solution much quicker than if we had chosen to use any other solution with our background with Omnis.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Like I said, many and varied, Time entry, rosta, payroll and wages, simple recipe databases, stock management, manufacturing stock control, process management...
