Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is a brilliant solution."
"You can scale the solution."
"It is stable."
"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."
"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."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"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."
"It is a flexible solution that is straightforward to use."
"It is so huge and so powerful. The best thing is the possibilities of things that you can actually do with it. If you do it right, you can work or host your stuff a lot cheaper than traditionally. Its security is good, and it also reduces the strain on internal IT."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"In terms of managing and configuring infrastructures, Azure is fairly good."
"It was very user-friendly when setting up the virtual machines and console. It was an easy task for my team to create virtual servers and start replications."
"The solution's technical support was very good."
"The scalability is good."
"Being able to set up, change and configure VMs is easy - a lot easier than in AWS."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"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."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"I would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"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's no direct tech support."
"Pricing is one area where Azure has room for improvement. There should be some due consideration. Azure has solved some issues with pricing from the development team's standpoint, but it is still quite costly. They should also offer a trial period for the individual platform solutions. I think that would be pretty handy for the developers."
"I would like to see Internet content filtering included."
"It can be improved in terms of ease of billing or monitoring of the billing. That gets to be a little difficult."
"The solution could use mutual segmentation for servers. It would be ideal if you could constitute something like five or 15 groups among the groups of different computers inside Azure."
"You don't get support from Microsoft very easily as compared to other solutions."
"The dashboard of Microsoft Azure could be better."
"The permissions and controls in the product are not easy to use."
"The solution is less mature than AWS."
