"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."
"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."

"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services 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."
"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."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"It is expensive."
"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."

"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
