Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"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."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"The solution 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."
"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."
"Plugins like MvvmCross make a developer’s life easy."
"The platform is easy to learn as many tutorials are available on YouTube."
"It usually saves time for application development. We write once and the code works everywhere."
"I think the best part about Xamarin is that you can create apps for both platforms using one source code. That's the most powerful feature. When you develop something for Android, it also builds for iVerse as well. The cross-platform aspect of Xamarin is unique. The ability to develop both apps with a single code base is something very unique."
"On the market, compared to everyone else, they're the top solution. They're the best solution out there that I could see."
"This solution is a cross-form technology, meaning that we don't have to create separate code to deploy apps across different platforms."
"Xamarin Platform enables you to use a single code language. This is beneficial for Android, iOS, and Windows platforms, so they can be developed over application or built over application."
"The best part while using the Xamarin Platform is a cross-platform application. We could execute iOS and Android while writing a single line of code."
"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"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 needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"There's no direct tech support."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The solution does not include Hot Reload which is painful because it causes us to wait quite some time for huge builds."
"We'd like to have some chat support functionality."
"Needs to improve the customization of its screens."
"The application platform could be improved."
"We need to think about partnering with IBM because there is a need for a big data partner; someone who has machine learning and can help us connect the app to big data."
"They need to improve performance, especially for the Android platform. Also, some controls are missing in the Xamarin framework when compared to native controls; for example, the checkbox control."
"We have noticed that there have been stability-based performance issues with this product, which need to be improved."
"The performance needs improvement, especially the dev tools, and also the ultimate output of the mobile applications."
