Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"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."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"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."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"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."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
