Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."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."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"You can scale the solution."
"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."
"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."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"I would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"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."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"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 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."
"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."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
