"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"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."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"You can scale the solution."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"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."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"It is expensive."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
