Compare Mendix with other popular tools in the same category.
I like most that It has the inbuild tool for project management. The other things are that this is a no code Low code platform for fatster application development.
It uses complex or I can say it forwarded users to many forms to build a simple buttob or a microflow in studio pro, which I do not like much since it was troublesome for a low code platform, it should be fairly simple on a single form.
Since it is one of the most useful Low code application develeopment platform, I have used mendix for app development and review the progess of my project at the same time.
I loved Mendix because of its ease of use through dividing into specific folders and modules while doing the development and also Modules subdivided into Microflows, Nanoflows, and Pages etc.; It is straightforward to implement remote code executions in microflows to get customized requirements fixed.
Mendix offers an extensive range of solutions, yet it has some style definition limitations for certain widgets such as data grid, data view and List view. It is better to use visual code rather than doing CSS styling in Mendix.
By using Mendix, We can develop applications in significantly less amount of time when compared to traditional web application development and. also it offers a wide range of services like agile methodology to work on projects, and also there is a marketplace to which we can contribute by developing and publishing modules. It also has an active forum, So we can reach out to a community where anything gets answered quickly.
I like how quickly on can start developing in the Mendix application even with very little knowledge of coding. The rapid course also gives you a great boost.
In cases of very high count of data the application takes some amount of time to load. And lazy loading not being an easy concept to apply in the application.
Mendix is helping aglie development along with giving the client or business analyst the ability to understand the actual backend flow of the code.
Mendix Offers two spaces for development one is a studio, and the other is studio pro; the best thing about the studio is it is WYSWYG Editor, which means what you see is what you get. So, Development is relatively easy when you can live changes on the screen.
Although everything is correctly documented in their portal, I couldn't find how to manage exceptions in the database while using some external database. The log tab sometimes shows inappropriate errors.
Mendix solving time taking processes that are taking place in any sector of application development by code reusability with widgets where any low-code platform serves these features.
The development environment of Mendix is just great: easy, out of the box tools combined with a great logic leads to fast development.
Sometimes the UI could do with a boost, but the Mobile Native First is offering some great help.
App development lifecycle became so much shorter so much more User stories finished in a shorter amount of time.
Building an app connected to a database, with decission logic in an easy way.
It requires effort to connect to SAP cloud foundry..
It is possible to build an app on its own, but also connect to other applications like SAP for reading data.
The rapid development of applications and the freedom to add code yourself when needed. Most of the functionality can be build with the default Mendix functionality. For the complex functionality one ore more Java blocks can be added. It's well integrated with Eclipse, so you can easy debug the Java code. With the custom styling it's possible to give the application an unique look. Also the possibility to work close together with the business makes it attractive to choise for Mendix. The whole community of Mendix. They organise Meetups to let exports and developers share there knowledge.
Not all the widget are update frequently to the latest Modeler version. Creating an application in multiple languages is possible but your not triggerd/forced to translate labels after you edit an existing application. So sometimes you forget to add the translated labels. The pricing model can be an obstacle for smaller companies.
Because of the rapid development Mendix is very usefull for a POC or prototype. Beside that Business and IT are working close together because it's a low code platform. We are solving the challenges below with Mendix: - Integrations with multiple other applications - Creating very quick a POC - Increase the customer engagement during the devolopment
The beste abiltiy of Mendix is to be able to create application in such a short notice. Development of applications is therefore radically changed.
I don't dislike much, a point for improvement might be the use of
I have solved mutliptle business problems for different companies as a ITvisors consultant. Ranging from applictions that support maintenance processes to applications within logistics.
I like the low threshold and the ease of use to fastly create applications
The difficulty of customising UI elements (especially to implement interactive elements)
I created a dashboard for an employment agency, both for employees and employers
Mendix is accessable. Only after two weeks I can help clients with Mendix implementations.
The Cloud portal does not offer very detailed info about the server itself. Sometimes its now clear whats happening.
All kinds. Mainly using Mendix for point solutions.
