We performed a comparison between Mendix and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mendix has made a great deal of effort to provide its developers a healthy, modern environment for developing. First of all, it adopts Agile methodology by creating a SCRUM-based app where you can handle your user stories. Next comes version control, which really allows multiple team members to collaborate quite easily. And last but not least, Mendix modeler, which is your IDE for developing Mendix apps."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"The user experience is great."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application. We are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software. Our workflows and processes have evolved and improved. The fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"It's very easy to use. That's one of the advantages for the business, that you don't need to struggle to configure your website and your app service. Microsoft made sure to make it stable and very easy to configure."
"The Logic Apps and Azure functions are very robust."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"I've used Microsoft Azure App Service quite a lot, and what I like best about it is that it's a serverless HAM, which is a feature that can run a function, a single function, but faster and more frequently without needing any other assistance. This has been what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service, the serverless option that's very easy to utilize, and you only need a minimal setup to use this and to enjoy the functionalities required, so the solution gives me a lot of comfort whenever I'm using it."
"The solution overall is very good."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"It is expensive."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"An improvement I would like to see is the ability to version manage independent modules. Their version management for software repositories must be better. It's good and you can do it, but it needs work."
"If you are not using the product properly, then it can cost you a lot of money. Hence, you need to make sure that you choose the services wisely. You need to make sure that you have a budget and have some alerts associated with it. The tool's cost can easily go high if you don't consider these things properly. You need to review your existing subscription."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"The configuration is slow without understanding the systematic process."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
