Mendix Reviews & Product Details

Ease of use; Capability and flexibility; Possibility of embedding custom code; Many components available out-of-the-box; Available trainings which will set you up working in a few days;

No Windows mobile native apps; Requires customizations when dealing with more complex scenarios/requirements;

Possibility of providing a quick solution to requirements handed over by customers. Ability to provide a working solution (with a lot of working features) within days and not weeks.

Mendix is highly flexible and can be used to quickly get prototypes running. The available training videos and step by step tutorials help you to get started. Simple apps can be put together in a relatively short amount of time. When enough background information is provided, the active community is able to either solve problems or at least point towards the right direction. Due to the active community and direct feedback of ideas for future modeler releases, Mendix is able to react to popular developer needs rather quickly.

Unfortunately, the release cycle also comes with the drawback of many versions. Although the apps provided in the AppStore might be very useful, it can be tedious to get them running without prior knowledge. Especially for starters, a bit more documentation could speed up the setup.

Mendix can solve a great variety of business problems. Customization is key - Mendix provides you with the tools you need. Mendix is supported and steadily developed and improved.

Abstraction Level: If you have coded in Java, an application or so then you'll realise everything mendix is doing in background but in an easier way. The speed of development in Mendix is incredible. Apps compatibility for many devices. Overall AWESOME experience.

Nothing, really. I don't dislike it at all, but there are improvements that can be done.

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

With the easy to understand user interface that you can create with Mendix, you can easily discuss with end-users what they want to see in Mendix. Then the change is rapidly implemented which contributes greatly to the continuous improvement of your apps and your user satisfaction.

I'm missing the functionality to add security on a developer level. It would be nice to see developer security roles that lock certain module such that junior developers can be locked out of some modules or end-users can be allowed in the model.

A great part our consultancy company works with Mendix and we've used it for several clients. The great power of Mendix is that it can be used for a great variety of business problems. We've used it to create guided questionnaires, but also to create an integration layer between all various kinds of services. So from a business perspective it is an easy to use tool. Also from a developer perspective it is a great tool. The way of modeling is easy to understand and proper documentation while modeling is also possible. There are great learning paths to follow for new developers as well. Projects can grow quite big very soon, however, in Mendix you can easily separate the modelling into modules, but also in microflows that preserve the readability for new developers that join the project after a few years. For myself, I'm working with Mendix for about 1.5 years and I already became an advanced developer. As I mentioned, it is an easy learning modeling tool.

The flexibility and fastness of the developing a new or existing app. The easy re-usability of created logic. The fast deployment to the cloud. The version control with multiple developers on the same project. I also like quickness in response when I have an issue with the software.

I don't use the web-modeler, why should I bother with an incomplete version of the software?

The problems that I am solving are mostly related to workflow processes. Most of my applications are replacements for old forms on either printed paper, word or excel.

I love the extensive possibilities that Mendix provides out of the box by the provided building blocks.

I do not like to use the webmodeller. It does not have all the options that the desktop modeler does have.

Creating workflow applications in order to streamline the business processes via the Mendix applications.

The fast and easy way of lowcode programming, while retaining the features to create complex solutions

I dislike the fact that it hasn't been adopted more. It's an excellent platform with limitless possibilities

Mostly bridging the gap between business and IT

The rapidness of deploying a new app or implementing changes.

The web modeler's current functionality is too low key at the moment.

Mendix is the perfect tool for both agile and devops projects. I've worked with Mendix on both entirely new projects as projects that are on the go for a few years. The fact that it's so easy to just dig in and getting up to speed in very short notice makes Mendix feasible for basically any type of project. Of course it's better to be part of a project from the very first start, as you have an influence on the creation of the data model. But I think one of the biggest advantages of Mendix is that when it's being used in projects, and new developers need to put on, you can bring them up to speed very easily. This is due to the ease of use of both data modelling and microflows and the way you can document your progress. As I'm writing this review I've been working with Mendix for 3,5 years, without any form of IT/technical background. But I'm still astonished by the speed of which I've been able to master the tool and putting it to good use for all projects I have done so far. Conclusion, I would recommend Mendix to basically everyone who would like to build their own app.

Easy to work with modelling tool and very comprehensive webbased cloud platform. Great compatibility with technologies (on prem, Mendix cloud, your own cloud of choice, docker). Very fast to get to a minimum viable product.

Mobile and offline still have it's limitations. UI editor is a bit complex sometimes, and making the apps look really really sleek is a bit challenging, although the out of the box styling options are also very decent.

Many different problems, from extracting and processing data from backends to a nice front-end, making workflows and processes easier, transorming and analyzing data

the speed and flexibility to create tailor made applications for customers. Deploy them instantly to a free cloud node or a paid cloud node.

altough you design your applications visually, it could be easier to preview your application from an enduser perspective.

created applications and business templates for retail, logistics, b2b and b2c. Combined system data with data from sensors and devices. The possibilities are endless.
