"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 initial setup is easy."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"You can scale the solution."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"The solution is stable."
"The customer service and support are very good. When we raise a ticket, we quickly get feedback or someone assigned to help us identify the problem, which, 90% of the time, was on our end. I'm very happy with the support they provide."
"It was very user-friendly when setting up the virtual machines and console. It was an easy task for my team to create virtual servers and start replications."
"Azure Active Directory: Has powerful security and auditing capabilities that we use to secure all our apps."
"The product provides a host of security tools."
"The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"I get all the features under one roof."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use."
"The data factory feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"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 is always a layer of custom code required."
"The third-party data-sharing features must be improved."
"It could be cheaper."
"We use Microsoft Server 2019 and 2016. And I didn't like the 2019 client, so we had to downgrade back to 2016. The main issue there was its monitoring system. Our client needed an alternative, and if they were using more Windows products, they also needed to make that downgrade."
"The cost of the product is too high. It would be ideal if they could lower it a bit for their customers."
"Technical support is lacking right now. It needs to be better."
"Microsoft's technical support could be improved."
"In my opinion, what could be improved is making the actual costs more predictable. It is very difficult to estimate the cost or the budget you are going to need to run your environment in Azure Cloud. You have to be a specialist to understand how you will be charged, which constantly changes."
"The local support is fair but it is sometimes limited, the service could be better."
