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."There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application. We are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software. Our workflows and processes have evolved and improved. The fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"It is stable."
"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."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Zoho Creator is easy to design and accessible for any business purpose. The solution is priced low and helps you meet business requirements. You can write a script based on requirements and trigger it whereby the customer will receive notifications. It is a customizable application."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"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."
"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 could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"The UI must be improved."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
