8 years experience from a Progress developer
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Accessing database queries within the business logic makes it rather easy for back end development.
2. Well structured Object Oriented concepts are highly efficient
3. Pro datasets, temp tables, design structures, inbuilt REST servers are very useful for architectural design
4. Transactions, rollback functions, error handling is very successful in development
5. Data recovery, replication, disaster management, real time data replication
6. Low code programming
7. in built REST API

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Progress OpenEdge is a high level programming language with latest technical capabilities like Object Oriented development, proDatasets, Database Administration, REST servers in built and so on. This is a highly reliable development platform for critical and high volume data processing. I have been using Progress products since 2012 and I started working on it with Progress 4GL 10.2b. I developed number of applications in large scale (i.e. finance, logistics, production processing and Enterprice resource management)

It's a good language have full support for backend as well as for front end (GUI)
I have been using Openedge to develop ERP related applications for more than 12 years.

ABL. Query language. Database Performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is bit costly. Documentation of it was not straight forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's good tool to right ERP applications. I have been mostly using old features of Openedge which uses the procedural programs.
Quick and easy to learn, can easily implement programs and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Progress is very user friendly and easy to use alot of code is automatic and there’s multiple key words to help accomplish what you’re trying to achieve in a more efficient manner
What do you dislike about the product?
Although most cases it’s easy to spot a mistake sometimes when coming across a syntax errror progress will tell you the mistake is somewhere in the program instead of telling you the specific line
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s easy to maintain a database from a busi Point of view and easy to add new changes to the databe without it completely falling over
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great substitute for oracle
Working with Progress OpenEdge since last 13 years
What do you like best about the product?
Programming language in itself is easy to learn and is actually quite nice. It is backward compatible and pretty stable most of the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of things that can be better:
1. Web based Db management console instead of old GUI data dictionary tool
2. Progress tools are not easily available to developers. So there are hardly any new people learning progress.
3. License costs for development should be free (or atleast reasonable). We (developers) can promote the progress product to our clients if we can use them easily. We recently had a situation where we needed corticon license for development and it is way too costly for us as a developer.
4. Very limited documents and tutorials. This makes it harder to try out new tools available.
