Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"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."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"It is stable."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The product is very stable."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The product captures data in real time."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"There's no direct tech support."
"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."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"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."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
