Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"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 decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"Pega BPM offers a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"The solution has very helpful technical support."
"I have a lot of experience in this kind of industry, and Pega is one of the best solutions in terms of performance, capabilities, and the way we develop."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as we can configure it to best suit our requirements."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
"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."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"An improvement I would like to see is the ability to version manage independent modules. Their version management for software repositories must be better. It's good and you can do it, but it needs work."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"There's no direct tech support."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
