Mendix Previous Solutions
I have done projects both on Mendix and OutSystems.
I prefer Mendix because of their Manufacturing related product development capabilities, which suites my need better in Smart Manufacturing space.
Moreover, both platforms are good, it all depends on the use cases.
View full review »We are working with different low-code/no-code products, not just Mendix. We have in our practice multiple low-code platforms. We are not only working with Mendix. We are working with our systems such as Hancock and Appian.

Mendix competes with Outsystems, Microsoft Power Apps, Salesforce, and a few local players.
I'd definitely rate Mendix as the number one low-code, model-driven platform. It's much better than the competition regarding ease of use, pricing, stability, IDE strength, good training materials, and easy staff onboarding and certification. It has made major improvements in those areas.
View full review »We use usually two platforms - Mendix and OutSystems. So we freely let the students make the choice as to whether they use Mendix or OutSystems and usually 50% use OutSystems and 50% use Mendix.
View full review »I did previously use the Microsoft Power Apps Platform. That's more like a system of services. It's not an on-in-one product.

I run my businesses and develop applications. My friends and I are a small group of developers. In the past, we worked with technologies like C# and React. However, we are now looking to take the next step using local platforms.
I switched to this solution because of its database handling. You can create and draw your structure. The UI has powerful microflow, workflow, and nanoflow capabilities. It has great speed. It is suitable for developers with varying levels of experience. You can achieve tasks with minimal coding. The CSS and paging capabilities are great.

My portfolio had Mendix, OutSystems, Pega, Appian, Bizagi, and on the RPA side, UiPath, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere, and all the cognitive technologies like AI and ML. My responsibility was to create solutions and take them to the client. And then, the team will take care of technical design and implementation.

It is a little bit different because we have built our company around selling services from Mendix.

I've developed applications with numerous products combined or stand alone: PHP, ColdFusion, Java, JavaScript (jQuery, Prototype, Vanilla), CSS2/3 and HTML4/5.
However not a specific platform like Mendix, the major difference is as I mentioned before the fact that you can fully focus on business process development instead of all the basic stuff like login, CRUD, etc. That's why my primary platform to develop with is currently Mendix.
View full review »I’ve used OutSystems in the past. We chose Mendix because the UI of the Modeling (Software Suite) environment is easier to use, and the online environment is much more advanced.
View full review »I have worked with many third generation languages (Java/.NET /PHP) and have found that you still need an extra third party software next to the development environment provided to come up with the same toolset as the Mendix platform.
View full review »Mendix is a first-rate business modeling solution. We have evaluated other solutions which focus more on the technology and gives developers too much flexibility with which they could hang themselves. This sounds counter-intuitive, but in real fact Mendix is a modeling solution that evolves upward in the software evolutionary chain, in that it is business-centric instead of being tech-centric; you model instead of code. We've been stuck in the code-mode for decades. Modeling isn't a new concept but it is hard to craft a first-rate modeling solution which Mendix has done a great job at.
Using the modeler frees you from technological burden and gives you more space to focus on mastering the business of the client.
View full review »Mendix is not a "RAD" tool and there really is nothing like it, similar tools have started appearing and the approach is catching on. Model Driven tools differ in philosophy and implementation and needs a different mind set to leverage optimally.
View full review »I have not used a different solution similar to Mendix. I started using Mendix since my organization wanted it.

Before Mendix, we were looking at some open source solutions.

View full review »The Cordis platform was used before we got to know Mendix. Cordis was just a failure that did cost us a lot of money with no result.
View full review »We had previously been working on 3GL solutions such as Java and C++. We also had some work done in AllFusion Gen 7.6 that led us to explore other model driven tools. We had a few choices but took up Mendix mostly because it had natural integration with customized Java/Scala code . Our vision was to further use the product to enhance/refactor our legacy solutions of other projects and incidentally high percentage of them were in Java .
View full review »I haven't used any solution that's similar.
View full review »Mendix was the only solution that had a paradigm to allow us to do what we wanted to do with development.
View full review »Yes, traditional development methodologies were found to be too slow and cumbersome
