"It is a brilliant solution."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"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."
"The product captures data in real time."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"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."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"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."
"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."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
