"You can scale the solution."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The user experience is great."
"The ability to create the actual resource on the private cloud is easy to manage with Microsoft Azure."
"The stability is very good. The performance is excellent."
"In terms of computer resource management and reduced cost, it is very, very effective. In large environments, it gives you a lot of flexibility to provide different services, like disaster recovery and business continuity with simple and great options because you don't have to spend a lot of time for maintenance, upgrades, and security."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure is the compatibility with all of our Windows applications and other Microsoft technologies"
"If you're interested in going with Microsoft, my advice would be to do it. Everybody's using Microsoft."
"Its ability to scale is most valuable. There are certain periods of the year when we are busier, and we're able to scale up and scale down with Azure depending upon our needs."
"Data analytics is one of the efficient features as well."
"Microsoft offers free courses and an exam on their products. Many of my colleagues who use Microsoft Azure take advantage of those free courses to help them learn about the solution in depth."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"The solution could improve the stability. However, this could be a configuration issue that we are not been trained."
"The deployment was quite complex."
"The biggest area needing improvement involves the licensing cost."
"Virtual networks might be improved by adding more rules for the validation of protocols and peripheral elements in security assurance."
"Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network."
"There was a time when the solution was updated on their side and all of our functions stopped working. This issue could be worked on to prevent it from happening in the future. They must give us the information of when they are going to updates on the platform side so that we can take the appropriate measures on our side as well."
"The cost of the product is too high. It would be ideal if they could lower it a bit for their customers."
"I believe that some of the services need to be available on the on-premises version and not only based on the cloud."
