"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."

"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."

"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."
"What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."
"The simplicity is great."
"The tool helps to automate IT service management processes. It's the market-leading technology. It can provide the company with chatbots and a unique process or workflow orchestration. It can be customized to the customer's specific needs, enabling semi-automatic or full automation processes. It integrates fully with SAP and offers a wide range of advantages for both us and our clients."
"The solution provides a single platform for multiple systems and software to operate from. We have found the solution to be stable The initial setup and deployment of the solution was very easy. The technical support team are very helpful, we contact them whenever we are unable to fix an issue."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The workflow feature really has a lot of value because you can create complex workflows in a simple, intuitive way with only a few clicks."
"ITOM Discovery is a great feature."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."

"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"When it comes to integration, it can be complex compared to other tools I'm currently using."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement."
"The integration towards other ERP systems could be improved."
"It is still difficult to build a set of services in ServiceNow. It can be done, but it is one of the more difficult things to do. If we're talking about scalability, we're talking about the ability to actually build that set of services a little easier."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's automation process needs improvement."
"The licensing for this solution, with respect to the user, needs to be improved."
"This platform is used more by large companies because it is a little bit expensive."
