Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"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 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 of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"The product is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"There's no direct tech support."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"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."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
