DESCRIPTION
Omnis Studio is a high-performance visual RAD tool that provides a component-based environment for building ebusiness, database and client/server applications. Its Web Client plug-in technology allows server-based applications to be accessed over the Internet using popular Web-browsers, giving fast, secure, scalable solutions in a minimum of development time. With complete scalability from individual to enterprise level solutions, Omnis applications can be developed on any one supported platform and deployed on any other platform without modification. Supported platforms include, Windows NT/2000, Windows XP, Mac OSX, Linux, and Sun Solaris. Omnis directly supports traditional SQL databases such as Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, DB2 and Informix, as well as Raining Data's advanced multidimensional database, D3. Most other databases may be accessed via JDBC or ODBC. Omnis Studio dramatically cuts application development time compared to 3GL environments (C++, Java), while allowing the developer to use objects developed in 3GL environments as components in Omnis applications.

MOPHILLY  The Omnis Studio 4.3.1 release is very stable, and much faster in many areas. Support for the Mac OS look and feel is greatly improved. The product now support Postgres, has a useful application server and integrates with other systems via java and SOAP.

It continues to offer a built-in database but most developers will appreciate connectivity to Postgresql and MySQL, along with other popular databases such as OpenBase and Oracle.

Support improved tremendously after a management re-organization some years ago. These days the assistance is accurate and timely.

The Omnis programming "language" is easy to learn and follows a simple standard "dot" notation construct. It offers a robust set of methods and supports an accessible implementation of object oriented programming and architecture. In addition, it supports a large number of "4GL" style commands.

It offers a highly interactive debugger, with immediate "correct and run" at the heart of the tool set. Even with all the new tools available to developers, Omnis Studio 4.3.1 is a good choice for many projects.

OLIVIER SCHERLER  The program is extremely buggy, with serious issues that take ages to be addressed, when they are.

The documentation is incredibly poor (not by quantity but by quality, information to number of pages ratio is one of the lowest I've ever seen). Support, whey they deign to answer, seem to think that directing the customer to the forums is a substitute to documentation.

What's worse, I'm not sure addressing the bugs and fixing the documentation would be sufficent to make it a decent product.
