Mendix Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

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.

Scrum integration Focus on the business Ease of use

Still need tech skills It’s not so easy that you can make a complex app without code knowledge

Digitalization

Easy to use platform, development speed, active community

Mendix could be more active implementing the wishes from the idea forum.

Mendix gives us the advantage of quickly developing applications for our customers.

Accelerating business & development, Easy to learn, Build business logic fast with enterprise grade security. 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. The pace of innovation the platform enables. The improvement of the interaction between IT and the rest of the business.

Pricing is a bit high for smaller companies Sometimes the debugger stops with errors

Optimisation of business processes adding quick value

The simplicity of the program and links with external data sources and systems.

The outdated UI of the mendix modeller and the community that does not share anything that forces you to reinvent the wheel over and over again.

We are rapidly building new functionalities for the business and sudden changes can be implemented faster.

Ease of use and making visible what you are building troughout the process

Sometimes bounded options where you need a widget or Java to overcome that

Connecting business with IT

Flexibility and speed on how to develop apps

There is nothing to dislike, you are only limited by your own knowledge

We are using mendix to develop several apps to support business and user processes.

clearness of designer, speed of development, easy to repair syntax-errors

lot of subscreens to implement a lot of functionality

proof of concepts

I enjoy the rapid development mendix allows, the ability to get a site up and running with not having to write any of the boiler plate code.

Creating a custom layout or concept sometimes is not very straight forward. Also certain business logic which could be easily written in code will take a significant amount of effort to accomplish using a mendix microflow.

We are solving data management, and process management along with some external customer data capturing business cases.

It's rapid to make an app. Easy to use with drag and drop.

Some screens have small fields to sill that can not be enlarged.

Quick development.

The best was that the trainer takes time to discuss practical examples from projects.

Maybe more basic explanation when starting the course.

I am not using Mendix currently in business.

The speed of development, and touching upon all areas of software development. (Business processes, database design, custom logic, pages, etc)

I find it still a little too technical at times -- either I'd like it to become somewhat simpler still, or I'd like to develop my understanding of (the fundamentals of) software development more.

Backend administration tools for various customers

the fact that it is a rapid development platform. For someone like me, whose always done design but could never realize it and had to pass it on to developers, this platform enables me to use my experience as a designer when I build awesome apps.

Sometimes I do have issues with backwards compatibility with for example widgets and new modeler versions. It sometimes results in forced upgrades or broken functionality and was not anticipated.

Rapid development with more time to consult with the client and demo in a short period of time.

Easy to understand Frequently updated Online community

Not easy to merge updates/commits from teamserver.

Making application with a link to another system.

With the use of low-code development system of Mendix I am able to construct an application in a matter of hours instead of days.

Although Mendix uses the rapid application development mindset to development there is not really (yet) a wysiwyg screen. By implementing the screen the development time would likely take another dive.

Fast development of complex problems in the financial, utilities and government industries.

It's all build in (version control, quality checks, deploy, app store, monitoring and IDE)

There are some serious issues with the framework after a major or minor .0 release (ie 7.2 or 7.2.0)

Building apps quicker without any overhead developers often experience (setting up build scripts, manage environments,, etc)

- Ease of Use - Also capable of building complex applications

- High license costs - For deep changes on UX/UI (HTML/CSS) additional software is required

- Building fast PoCs for customers - Developing complex applications Benefits: - Easy to start with - Business near development

I like being able to easily reuse code and be able to work together with business to quickly develop applications that do exactly what the business needs.

Mendix does not support a dark theme, yet :-). Mendix has some trouble with handeling and generating reports and or documents. This however can be solved with integrations or custom widgets / modules.

Creating business value for different customers. Being able to quickly make changes and push them to the cloud with only a few buttons. Mendix allows us to develop software in a fraction of the time that it would take for traditional methods to develop the same.

Low code development, the collaboration tools, the all-in-one (agile) development environment.

The current focus of Mendix seems to be on new features instead of software stability. The current release cycle is intoducing new versions on a regular basis, but these also include bugs quite regularly. Also on (very) large projects, the desktop modeler seems

Enabling an organisation to change/develop software rapidly.

I like how little effort is needed for seeing your first results. You can have a working application with a data view and some buttons within minutes - much less time-consuming than writing from scratch!

Because of the nature of a platform like this, the software sometimes pushes you in a certain direction. Sometimes I wish for more flexibility.

Lower cost for developing, quicker stakeholder reviews

The Mendix platform enables me to quickly and efficiently provide solutions to business requirements in an agile way.

Some functionality is still lacking. With some of the more complex issues you'll need to know about the 'quirks' of Mendix to work around them.

The power of Mendix is not just faster development. But the fact that it enables a fully agile way of working together with the business. The Sprintr environment and the up and coming webmodeler functionality add ways of cooperation between the business and the developers. And the powerful desktop modeler enables me to quickly work through requirements and deploy them to the cloud of my choice.
