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."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"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."
"Mendix has made a great deal of effort to provide its developers a healthy, modern environment for developing. First of all, it adopts Agile methodology by creating a SCRUM-based app where you can handle your user stories. Next comes version control, which really allows multiple team members to collaborate quite easily. And last but not least, Mendix modeler, which is your IDE for developing Mendix apps."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"The solution has enabled us to provide advanced indicators and analytics to the client on their data."
"We have implemented the ExpressRoute connection, which is an established circuit between the local provider and the Microsoft network edge."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."
"Azure has the best website amongst all cloud computing platforms. It is simple to utilize, and one can release nearly anything, from app services to host sites."
"If you have large traffic amounts, Microsoft Azure will continue to provide our customers with the best storage experience."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is it has everything together in one place. It is one large tool with lots of small tools that are updated often."
"The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"Its resiliency is most valuable. It is also a very scalable solution, so you can spend the resources on demand."
"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 could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"It is expensive."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"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 needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"Price could always be better. The features come in quickly, so we're comfortable with the feature set that is available to us."
"Azure does not handle scalability as well as its competitors. Sometimes a 10 percent increase in a server with 20 percent of CPU usage pushes the server up to 100 percent load, and you start having performance issues."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"It would be ideal if they could reduce costs a bit. Right now, we find the product to be expensive."
"The permissions and controls in the product are not easy to use."
"The solution needs to offer more data analysis services."
"The solution needs a more integrated password feature."
"I would like to see the console improved."
