Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The most valuable feature is the back end."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"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."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"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."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"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."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"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."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"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."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
