Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."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."
"You can scale the solution."
"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."
"The user experience is great."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"I find the interface to be great."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"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."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"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."
"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."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"There's no direct tech support."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
