Mendix Reviews & Product Details

Mendix, unlike other platforms, has a firm focus on accelerating business & development. Where others have a more development orientated focus Menix gives more tools to organize and collaborate. So by adopting this platform, you do not only accelerate development you also allow your business to align with this capability. Next, to the platform, they also provide services to design and execute your digital practice which makes them so much more that just another platform.

Mendix always employs cutting-edge technology that asks adaptability of your people. You need an appetite to constantly innovate and improve to keep up.

We are one of the leading global Mendix providers and have solved countless business problems. Mainly focused on enterprise optimization and innovation.

How easy it it to get a working prototype out as well as the community.

There are some limitations currently, but with patches and fixes, those are getting resolved.

The benefits is what I stated above. We are able to create custom solutions that our clients can test within a fraction of the time.

Mendix enables you to drive faster and develop innovative products by the speed of ideas

for a single solution it might be expensive

digital transformation

What I like best is the way coding was made easier with the help of the GUI. The range of actions available make developing a business logic much quicker and very efficiently through microflows.

What I dislike is not the Modeler itself but the documentation available for it. Some of the functions that can be used in the Modeler are very poorly explained without any sufficient examples. I would definitely need some more information as to better understand and use the available functions.

The business problems resolved by Mendix and the app I am offering support for are in the insurance industry. I have managed to create a whole variety of features that simplify users' life throughout a quote/policy cycle.

It's relatively easy to build a working application and roll out to production, without any form of coding. Building with modularity in mind makes components highly reusable, including lots of building blocks available through an app store.

Not all app store apps are maintained well enough to keep working. Especially for the components built by Mendix itself, this is sometimes disappointing.

We were able to build applications for lots of different business processess that depend on data usage and interaction. Especially with data intensive applications, Mendix becomes really useful to replace numerous other applications, often built in Excel or Access. Eliminating user errors and errors in maintainability, while building and deploying way faster than traditional development can achieve.

From first setting up your project until having a running web application in the mendix cloud is a matter of hours.

The 'no-coding' marketing bubble by Mendix suggesting you don't need developers anymore.

We deliver integrated web-applications as extenesion to our customers existing CRM or ERP systems. With Mendix we can react much faster to changing requirements.

I've been working with the Mendix platform for 6 years now, and still find its easy to learn, hard to master developers user interface great. The built-in real-time model checking features are top notch, omnichannel development (develop functionality once, create a desktop/tablet/mobile app in a snap), ease of setting up integrations with other systems are great. The Mendix community, with its active developers and knowledge meetups is fantastic, anyone can learn almost an infinite amount of things in no time.

What could be improved upon is Mendix' document generation mechanism. It turns a graphical template into XSL-FO, which outputs PDFs, Docx, etc, but a simple change in the template requires an entire restart of your application. A 'generate preview document' button would be much better.

Creating business value for our customers. Helping them work better, faster, more efficient. Putting smiles on the faces of our end users and wowing them with fantastic looking apps, developed in days instead of weeks. Being able to change the application on the fly, stunning customers who have bad experiences with traditional development methods.

I am coming form a business (Accounting) background and could easily understand the coding logic. It really makes it simple to understand and to implement solutions.

It takes some time understading what Mendix does and what is does not. you as a developer must know where to take over.

Using Mendix we can rapidly deploy systems and therefore, minimizing time to market.

The fact that I can sit down with an end user and create their perfect application together with them in a single sit.

The license system is focused on medium to big firms, whereas the pricing model often is unfavorable for a small firm only needing a single small application.

There is no limit to the problems that can be addressed and solved, from client facing to back-end, with no limit on industry. Benefits are realised for all parties involved, both at the client and customer side.

Low-code rapid development in an easy to use modeler with default great designs

Nothing, really. I have submitted a few improvement requests in the past, but they are all implemented already.

We provide businesses with supply chain portals, inventory management, customer relations management and product information management.

I love the speed at which you can develop when using the Mendix platform. Because of the visual way of building logic in Mendix, it is very easy to collaborate with non-IT related roles from the business. This results in applications that really fit with the business and the future users of the application.What I also like is that back-end developement and styling go hand-in-hand when using the Mendix platform. Of course everyone has their own expertise, but front-end and back-end are no longer two worlds apart. Mendix has great tooling to set up a basic theme for your application based on your company colours in just a few minutes. So even when you're not a styling expert, your apps will look good.

Mendix has a lot of 'out-of-the-box' functionality, which in itself is great because in general increases the velocity of your app development. What I don't like about it is that the functionality is sometimes not flexible enough and in those situations it takes quite a lot of time to find a work-around.

Mendix can solve a great variety of business problems. It is great at intergrating with existing applications and software. WIth Mendix I've built several flexible shells on top of existing application landscapes, for example; I built a sels-service-portal for a logistics company on top of their SAP environment. Mendix is also great for building apps that are very specific for your business. The general software environments are often not flexibel enough to please the needs of the business. To start building apps from scratch in Java or .NET for example often comes with too much maintenance for a company. For these kind of business cases I've also used Mendix to do the job.

Mendix provides a quick solution to build apps and let you preview your application from the start. It's a great way to show your progress to the client each time you make changes.

For some companies, the price is a big obstacle. But the one who makes the decision, quickly knows that it was all worth it. Also, the default design of the elements is workable, but a bit stale. To create amazing templates it requires some knowledge of HTML, CSS or SASS.

We use Mendix as a platform, to implement business applications solving our customer's problems

We first started looking into Mendix as a way for us to upgrade our legacy applications within our organization. We vetted out 3 different vendor platforms and decided to go with Mendix. We have found the tool to be very easy to use and has allowed us to increase our time to market greatly. Currently we have software development cycles of 2-3 years. With the mendix platform we were able to get our first product out within a year and we are onto our next 2 products and they should be completed in less than a year. Mendix has always been very good at working with our organization whether it has been for troubleshooting issues or enhancements to the platform. As it currently stands our first product has increased our production by 40% within the first 6 months and we expect the same type of growth with our future releases

The biggest issue we had when first using the platform was tied primarily around some of the UI and services components. After discussions with the Mendix team, and some of their own enhancements, we have found the platform continues to improve and provide us the flexibility and speed we look for.

Our biggest issue was providing a flexible UI for our end users, a platform to allow the engineers to quickly develop and a way to upgrade our legacy applications. Currently we have seen a decrease of almost 50% in development time and an increase of 40% in productivity from our end users

Firstly the culture of the community around the platform. Secondly Mendix's innovative approach to the entire SDLC means that business requirements are developed with the least amount of waist in the process from the capturing of requirements within the functional system all the way to the one click cloud deploys. Lastly the pace of innovation the platform enables.

The moddler that is used to develop the solution requires windows, while a web version is on the way it's not clear if that version will support the work flow logic capturing Microflows.

Many problems. From the business business perspective the biggest problem we are solving is the capability of reducing time to market. Functionally we're solving workflow and automation problems as well as data integration and consolidation problems.

speed of getting value from idea to features

customizations are sometimes difficult to achieve

to create digital processes quickly

Low code platform for fast application development. For safe and great environments

Its not free with all features. Need to purchase thé enterprise edition

Fast development Secure applications Easy to learn

What I like best is the ease of development combined with the speed of development. When an issue turns up, a first solution can usually be tested within the hour.

The links with other systems can be improved in my opinion. Furthermore, the creation of page layouts is more difficult than it has to be. I hope that with the further development of the web modeler, this will also be picked up.

As a consultancy firm, we tackle the problems of our customers using mendix. These problems are mostly retail related.

Mendix is a Low code Platform tool and the best thing about Mendix is that we can develop complex applications with no coding skills. The best part is it is very easy to use and its desktop modeler is very fast. So the development runs very smoothly even with 4 GB ram.

There is nothing much about Mendix that I dislike but it should provide more customization for implementing required solutions. Due to less customization available, we sometimes fail to meet client expectations.

We are using Mendix for developing our client projects. It is very easy and fast to use. Development with Mendix is very cheap and fast and it automatically follows best coding standards.

The feature I like most about Mendix is its Desktop Modeler. Due to the Desktop Modeler, it becomes very easy to work on projects, and it provides better performance than a web modeler.

In Mendix, we can not write SQL queries to perform general DB operations. Though we have QOL, it only works with Java action. Due to which many simple tasks become very complex.

I was using Mendix for building apps as it is a Low code platform tool. With the help of Mendix, we can build applications in a very less time as compared to other traditional coding languages.

The speed with which you can develop user friendly apps.

It is hard to do code reviews because there is no good tool to watch differences in between commits.

Faster correction of requirement changes. Clearer communication with business, since the micro flows are more readable to them than plain code.
