Frustratingly Robust; When the Sunk Cost Fallacy meets Customer Service
What do you like best about the product?
The OpenEdge team tries it's damned hardest to stay relevant despite the product being both proprietary and relative nobodies. You have to love that kind of Moxie.
That said, they are very good at keeping up to date with the needs of the modern business.
That said, they are very good at keeping up to date with the needs of the modern business.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike, per se. In fact, Progress OpenEdge has made it easy to use a very modern tech-stack, but the price definitely makes it a hard product to argue for with the management. Since ABL is proprietary, regardless of it's own strengths, you're naturally going to have programmers with zero experience, let alone awareness of the language. That's a LOT of barrier to entry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Progress had previously been chosen partly because it was the tech-stack that built the accounting software our company chose. Aside from staying in the eco-system, the best benefit of ABL is simply having a language so close to the DB. And, though we're shifting our tech-stack now, we can't deny that it was also easier to share with Project Managers and have them understand it in it's "business logic turned programming language" way.
Quick and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
4GL query is the best part and other simple functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is different from other programming languages so it's less likely helpful when you write a query in other languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm writing SOAP services and I needed an asynchronous method that returns a response immediately after receiving a request.
Progress OpenEdge - a tried and true business application development environment
What do you like best about the product?
I have utilized the Progress OpenEdge platform within many large and medium size corporations over the past three decades and it has been, by far, the most robust, cost effective and enduring environments I have experienced. While other platforms require frequent (costly) migrations to stay abreast of their technologies, Progress Software has continued to deliver a consistent progressive software platform that retains backward compatibility while being able to take advantage of new innovations.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the Progress OpenEdge environment is used worldwide, the size of the company compared to the Microsofts of the world sometimes makes it difficult for companies to "justify" its adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When our consultancy delivers a Progress OpenEdge solution to our clients, we have the confidence in knowing that it will endure for years without any major rewrites required by the deprecation experienced in many other platforms. The robustness and productivity of the OpenEdge Advanced Business Logic (ABL) enables our developers to really focus on the the encapsulation of the required business rules as opposed to being caught up in coding lower level syntax. Additionally, the OpenEdge applications run under Windows, Unix and Linux environments with minimal development concerns.
Progress OpenEdge has capabilities years ago which other platforms are catching up on
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn and very standardised. Not a lot of low-level coding required.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike, more about limitations. Multiple layers in the libraries can impact of processing speeds.
Not a lot of people know about Progress/OpenEdge, hence its strength is not well known. Hence becomes a niche skill.
Not easily enable transferring skills to a non-Progress platform, as the market lack understanding of one's Progress skillset

Great product to work with. Organisations considering OpenEdge will need to consider, how well the OpenEdge product will need to integrate with non-OpenEdge products.
