Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"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 integration and UI customization."
"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."
"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 stable."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"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."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"I would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
