How are customer service and support?

We have tried to contact commercial support by phone and email but they never responded to any of our attempts. Their support is currently not good.

What other advice do I have?

The solution was good in our tests but we could not get a hold of the company for further inquiries. This is the reason I gave such a low score below.

I rate Mendix a five out of ten.

Room for Improvement

In the next version I would like the Rest Service Module to be incorporated into Mendix, similar to the way web services work.

We have had no stability issues.
