Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Amazon AWS is good in terms of deployment and user experience. Their certificate management and load balancer are also good features."
"I like that it helps us do everything really fast, and its advanced services."
"Our primary use case is to use the solution for running many relatively small instances for back office applications and various other business important applications."
"The scalability is a valuable feature."
"The documentation is very good."
"Very good automation and very stable."
"The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex."
"The experience with Amazon AWS is error-free. That was also, of course, something that I really appreciate. That means it's really well-tested and, as published or as declared."
"You can scale the solution."
"You can scale 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."
"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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution is stable."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The user interface (UI) needs improvement. Right now, it's not the best."
"Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved."
"Price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that has a scope for improvement"
"Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10. It seemed like Lambda runtime was changed by AWS, and there was a bug that caused the downtime. The loading of the dashboard is slow. It could be because I am located in China."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"It could be made cheaper. I know we spend a lot of money each month on AWS."
"Its interface could be better because there are so many services right now in the product that it is quite difficult to navigate around in this. Its interface could be a subject of improvement."
"AWS should provide even more support and engagement to accelerate the adoption of new services and features."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"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."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"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."
"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."
