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."The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"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."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"You can scale the solution."
"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."
"The user experience is great."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is able to support the size and scale required."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This is a customizable product."
"Fast prototyping."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"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."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"There's no direct tech support."
"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."
"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."
"The training aspect of Pega BPM requires significant enhancement. There should be more opportunities for third-party training and engaging events, such as hackathons where individuals can share their expertise. Additionally, the training structure itself should be more organized, as I have received feedback from my colleagues in the COE that the current training approach is overwhelming and requires excessive referencing to obtain accurate information. Another area for improvement would be the user experience with regard to RPA. Simplifying the IDA for citizen developers would make it easier for them to adopt the RPA tool."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"The licensing cost is very high."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
