"User friendly solution."
"AWS has a lot of flexibility, which is great."
"Macie is great. It is a service that makes recommendations on a data layer for cybersecurity. It is a great service."
"The main reason why we use EC2 is because we are not dependent on maintaining the hardware inside our premises. Also, we have full control over the infrastructure, and we can modify it as per our own requirements."
"The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets."
"Machine learning is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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 stable."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"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 of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"Amazon still has room for improvement in terms of being more mature on the monitoring side and in terms of the native capabilities. Amazon should get their services portfolio stronger on OEM-based workloads such as Microsoft and Oracle. There are a lot of areas that still do not have offerings, so there is room to grow. I would be happy if they bring more maturity to the monitoring capabilities and SaaS offerings. They are strong on Infrastructure as a Service, but they are not mature on SaaS."
"In terms of improvement, they should try to give more emphasis to the VoIP system."
"Amazon AWS could improve by being more secure and adding more features."
"It is difficult to hand over legacy applications when migrating them to the cloud."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"The dashboard and interface need improvement."
"There's not much room for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process of the overall product features and backend."
"Some of their well-listed services are not super configurable."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"There's no direct tech support."
"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."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"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."
