We performed a comparison between Mendix and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"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."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"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."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
