Mendix Reviews & Product Details

The fact that it is an all-in-one solution to develop, deploy and monitor business applications. Low code development is the future and Mendix is een A+ representative of this philosophy. Recently there have been a lot of exciting releases which shows that Mendix does not stand still and devlopes very quickly!

I dsilike the fact that in recent releases there is an emphasis on the webmodeler.

Quick solutions. Easy to get the business involved in the development process because of the visual way of modeling. Much faster then java development for example.

Mendix is a platform that is designed to create complexity in a matter of hours with tools that are simple to a developer, yet have a sophisticated underlying layer or logic. This helps in creating smart apps in a short period of time.

If you want to create an app for a smaller company, they will most likely not like the expensive license.

Digitalizing offices, HRM and CCM applications and legal document handling.

Mendix offers a complete solution for corporate organizations that struggle with building, maintaining and implementing functional business applications on top of their ERP/legacy systems. When adopting Mendix as application platform within your corporate organization, it is a perfect solution to develop, maintain and expand your applications fast and easy, without coding. Besides that the Mendix platform offers a broad range of great functionalities like integraded Scrum, responsive design building, UI design, team collaboration, deployment etc.

I think Mendix is only profitable when you really adopt the platform throughout your whole organization. When you don't, and also for smaller organizations, Mendix can be too expensive.

The struggle for organizations too build (fast and easy) applications that improve their business processes.

The Mendix platform is an easy and very intuïtive development platform that alllows you to quickly build applications. The company has a strong focus on continuous improvement of their product.

There are (of course) still areas for improvement. With the Mendix Modeler it is still lacking 'speed' to compile the applications for runnning/building packages and although it has improved a lot, auto-sizing/placement of items on the microflow lines is not optimized and cost time as a developer to line-up all the items of you want to remain clean and organized.

Ways to bring the data to the end-user in an easy and organized way.

The platform allows great colllaboration within the whole team. This enables quicker and smarter application delivery. A developer can quickly show the business how different ideas can work and the users can see the progress all the time keeping them fully engaged and excited in the journey.

The document generation side and reporting could be a little more sophisticated. For example, it would be great if the drill through reports allowed more functionality. That said, using OData the data can easily be manipulated in many reporting tools.

As a Business Partner with Mendix, we are working with our clients closely to deliver innovative and exciting applications.

I would be hard pressed to think of a sort of application that you would not be able to build using Mendix. Once you learn to think like Mendix; its world seems to open up to you. There is an endless and ever-growing library of extensions and plugins to help you basically do anything that you might want to. A vibrant user community is there for support, should you need it.

There is a steep learning curve; the fact that the platform has its own particular vernacular makes it nigh impossible for a self-starter to just open up the app and start without any form of guidance.

We have used the platform to handle form submissions as well as databases and statistics applications. Integrating APIs into the apps have helped us to create powerful apps that have the "brain" of the organization, or at least its data.

Quickly create proof of concepts, applications and functionalities for clients.

It's best to have a technical background to understand the logic of the tool.

Quickly create proof of concepts, applications and functionalities for clients. The tool is easy to explain to clients and new employees.

Less coding and having more time for talking about functionality and business goals

Nothing in particular, any tool has better and minor issues

managing quotes, maniging money, management information, user management, making life easier for end-users

With Mendix, the time it takes to develop an application is very small. This way, the feedback-loop for the product is very small, which gives great value for the customer.

There are limitations to the platform, which sometimes cannot be easily worked-around.

I am participating in a project for an insurance company. We are are developing a tool to make offers to customers, and are ever extending the range of products we are offering.

Mendix is a tool that does not require deep knowledgde of programming at first, a good pair of brains will do. However when advancing there is more than meets the eye ranging from custom widgets, custom styling and custom code (Java). It is this mix I like most in Mendix.

I think their mobile support is still limited. Currently however, Mendix is working hard to improve in this area of expertise.

I have solved business problems as diverse as document processing and building a cloud portal to give insight in personal future savings. I believe that modeling processes in Mendix enables our customers to gain insight. Additionally Mendix is the tool that provides our customer with a platform that allows for a rapid inclusion of new ideas into existing Mendix applications.
