Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Easy to access and secure, two important features."
"It has a dynamic scaling capacity which is very helpful."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"One of the features offered is scalability on demand."
"AWS has large community support."
"It streamlines tasks like table creation and data loading into Redshift, making the process more efficient and manageable."
"It has a lot of new features that make our lives easier in terms of what we want it to do in the house."
"What I found most valuable in Mendix is that it's very much suitable for mobile apps such as native Android or IOS supported mobile apps. The multiple features of the platform are very, very attractive and very popular. Mendix has technical features such as microflows and nanoflows. You can also access data models in the platform. These are the features that are very, very strong in Mendix. I got my hands dirty on other low-code platforms, but I have not seen such strong features in them compared to the microflows, nanoflows, and data model access that are in Mendix, including creating and integration. The platform has out-of-the-box adapters or out-of-the-box-connectors that you can integrate with different interface applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, etc."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"You can scale the solution."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"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."
"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."
"AWS support could be better."
"Instead of using some third-party solutions, Amazon should include them as part of its offering."
"It can be daunting because of the number of AWS products there are."
"Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students. Microsoft Azure is a better solution."
"IAM must be made simple and straightforward."
"Could be more user friendly and include additional applications."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"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 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 needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
