Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"You can scale the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"There's no direct tech support."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"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."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"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."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"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 integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
