Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"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 low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"You can scale the solution."
"Mendix has made a great deal of effort to provide its developers a healthy, modern environment for developing. First of all, it adopts Agile methodology by creating a SCRUM-based app where you can handle your user stories. Next comes version control, which really allows multiple team members to collaborate quite easily. And last but not least, Mendix modeler, which is your IDE for developing Mendix apps."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"The stability has been good."
"The security is good."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"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."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"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."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"One glaring flaw is how OpenShift handles operators. Sometimes operators are forced to go into a particular namespace. When you do that, OpenShift creates an installation plan for everything in that namespace. These operators may be completely separate from each other and have nothing to do with each other, but now they are tied at the hip. You can't upgrade one without upgrading all of them. That's a huge mistake and highly problematic."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
