"The most valuable features of the solution are security and integration."
"For workflow applications or general applications, the rapid development capability is what we value most."
"We can scale it if we want to."
"It is an excellent solution."
"The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage."
"They offer good support and provide a roadmap."
"It serves as a centralized solution that fulfills all my requirements from operating my email server to managing various aspects of my operations."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"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."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Mendix is that it's very much suitable for mobile apps such as native Android or IOS supported mobile apps. The multiple features of the platform are very, very attractive and very popular. Mendix has technical features such as microflows and nanoflows. You can also access data models in the platform. These are the features that are very, very strong in Mendix. I got my hands dirty on other low-code platforms, but I have not seen such strong features in them compared to the microflows, nanoflows, and data model access that are in Mendix, including creating and integration. The platform has out-of-the-box adapters or out-of-the-box-connectors that you can integrate with different interface applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, etc."
"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."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365."
"Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues."
"An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement."
"From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC."
"It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart."
"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"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."
"It is expensive."
