Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The initial setup is easy."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"It is stable."
"You can scale the solution."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"The solution is stable."
"The application services are the most valuable in Microsoft Azure. I'm not using them directly but I am using the function and the web applications. I don't need to pay a lot for the maintenance. I do not need to have a DevOps employee."
"The solution is very simple to use. It has a lot of great practical applications we really appreciate."
"The time to market is fast compared back to the traditional on-premise hosting. That is one of the better things I can say because there is no need to worry. The Pack services will enable it to start immediately."
"We validate customer videos and speech in real-time by utilizing language translation services and image processing. This involves converting speech to text and vice versa in real-time. Customers record videos where they speak predefined text. We capture the image and speech, convert it to text, and compare it with the standardized text."
"The solution offers very good upgrades and updates regularly."
"Azure virtual machines are stand-out."
"Microsoft Azure has hundred of services that they offer on the platform."
"The solution is very flexible, it is not limited to Microsoft solutions. It integrates well with other solutions, such as Oracle. There are a lot of templates we are able to use allowing us to reduce the time for configuration."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"There are a number of services offered by AWS that are not yet available on Azure."
"There was a time when the solution was updated on their side and all of our functions stopped working. This issue could be worked on to prevent it from happening in the future. They must give us the information of when they are going to updates on the platform side so that we can take the appropriate measures on our side as well."
"One key area for improvement is the Azure load balancer. Currently, it only supports virtual machines (VMs) running in the same virtual network (vNet) on the backend. They should definitely support machines or IPs running on-premises (prem) or in other Azure VNets. GCP and AWS already support that. So, Azure Load Balancer should support that as well"
"At this point, the latency is too high to use Azure in our production environment."
"I don't understand why we spend so much time and money on Azure when Microsoft relies on third-party companies for support in the CSP model. I don't know how the support model works within Microsoft, but giving it to poor-performing third-party companies is not ideal."
"In the next release, I would like to see better security."
"Integration with other cloud environments can be tricky at times."
"The security feature in the solution is an area that needs to be improved."
