Mendix Reviews & Product Details

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.
