We performed a comparison between Mendix and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a brilliant 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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"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 pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale the application."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"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."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"Limited integration is an area for improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service. Another area for improvement in the platform is multi-language support."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
