Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is stable."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"The user experience is great."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure is the flexibility you have for all the services and solutions it offers, even if you use IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, you have the option to only pay for the services you use."
"Feedback and error messages make much more sense in Azure than in AWS."
"Azure has improved my organization because it is a new technology and so the customers who don't have enough knowledge about the cloud delegate the administration of their cloud infrastructure to us. We incorporate and add a new service to our product lineup about how to manage their Azure. It impacts our business because we're able to incorporate this new service."
"We have not had any issues with the performance, or the stability."
"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the auto-scaling feature and the interface."
"I have found all the features to be good."
"Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days."
"A very flexible solution."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"It works beautifully. I haven't had any errors."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"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."
"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."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"There's no direct tech support."
"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."
"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."
"I think better accelerators and better tools that can be used to migrate and leverage the existing models and data schemas are needed."
"While integrating services from different vendors, the perceived costs are high, with occasional confusion about specific charges, especially in data transfer scenarios between regions."
"We have faced some challenges trying to deploy a new ESP application."
"The interface for configuring the environment is not very intuitive. Certain things are at different places, and it is not easy to navigate. They should have a more transparent licensing model. Currently, Microsoft's licensing is a bit clunky, and it keeps changing depending on the type of subscription you have. Different features are included, and sometimes, it is very hard to figure out the right licensing. So, the commercial aspect of the licensing can be improved, and they can make it easier to understand all the features that are included."
"More expensive than other solutions without justification."
"Integration with other cloud environments can be tricky at times."
"Compared with other cloud solution providers, Microsoft is not good at local support."
"I would like to see better policy-based management and everything related to security management could have been better integrated."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
