We performed a comparison between Mendix and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"The user experience is great."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"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."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"You can scale the solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"There is very good documentation available and Salesforce offers good communication with its clients. It's very user-friendly and has a system that is easy to learn."
"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."
"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."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"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."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"The solution's UI is horrible."
"There is always room for improvement. It can be hard to learn, but when you have somebody who is experienced in this, it is like anything else. It is like Excel, you'll never know everything about Excel, but there's somebody who would possibly know. I'm sure I don't know all of the ins and outs of Salesforce."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
