"The most valuable feature is integration."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"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."
"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."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"There's no direct tech support."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."

"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"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."
"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."
