We performed a comparison between Mendix and QuickBase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"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 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 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."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
