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."It is a brilliant solution."
"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."
"The user experience is great."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is its architecture."
"Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"Decreased time for plane departures and landing, supported analytical insight for planning of three to six month forecasting, and helped with operational decision planning and support."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the various workflows."
"The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product."
"It is a stable product."
"It is quite configurable, which is the most exciting feature. We can easily configure it as per our needs."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"An improvement I would like to see is the ability to version manage independent modules. Their version management for software repositories must be better. It's good and you can do it, but it needs work."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
