Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is stable."
"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."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"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."
"You can scale the solution."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"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."
"OutSystems is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"Our previous solution had other overheads such as release management, version management, code management, monitoring, etc., all of which are built-in with OutSystems."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"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."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"There's no direct tech support."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"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 integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"When shared extensions are updated, all the applications are redeployed."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"In OutSystems, cloud management is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement since, right now, I am not sure if Salesforce Platform has any plans for start-ups or small businesses."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
