We performed a comparison between Mendix and OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"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."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"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."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"The stability has been good."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"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."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
