Because we are able to build solutions like portals & Apps without writing code in an Agile way of working (stories & sprints) we are able toe deliver more value to business demand and business is engaged because they understand what we build and see results almost every week.
Pros
The software is a low code solution helping development cycles being 6 - 10 times faster. What i like is that we are able to minimize coding thanks to the visual modeller that ships with the solution. Also we liked the full stack approach. From ideation, automated deployment and database creation to version management and integrated feedback loops.
Cons
There are always improvements possible. At this moment we are happy with the continue flow of new functionality like the Artificial Assist approach predicting the next step when developing.

I loved creating things for customers, but I'm not a die-hard programmer. I was fascinated by the modeldriven approach Mendix has as I could now deliver apps much more quickly, without having to write code. I'm working with Mendix now for 2 years and still exciting about the possibilities and speed. We even created our own products with Mendix. So our own ideas became alive. For instant the Sportlight search, IFTTT for Mendix and some document generation apps.
Pros
+ Bring the ideas or dreams of your customer to reality with a working app.
+ Quick, fast, rapid, agile. Did I mention speed?
+ Surprise your customers and friends
Cons
- Sometime a bit difficult to explain what a App platform is like Mendix to non-tech people. But if you prototype their idea you can let them see it works or let them talk to one of our fans(=customers)
Thank you for your feedback! Love how you use prototypes to define what the platform can do - very creative.

Mendix was created to solve the problem of businesses going digital. It is more than just a platform or a software company—it actually helps drive digital innovation, and has already done so for more than 500 companies.
Combining agile project management, visual modeling, and one-click deployment, Mendix empowers teams to build their own powerful apps in a matter of days or weeks, not months or years. Mendix augments existing IT and encourages collaboration between departments. Its deployment models support on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Although there is a rapid expansion of application development tools, Mendix is the only solution to offer a complete platform that drives digital innovation through the entire app lifecycle, from coming up with ideas and collaboration, through planning, building, and even app deployment.
Agile project management enables Mendix users to stay on top of their development projects. Organizations that use Mendix are able to estimate and plan sprints and future releases, while also monitoring progress using scrum boards and burn-down charts.
You can set up your own project and team using Mendix’s agile project management tools. In addition to capturing and prioritizing user stories, you’re also able to use social collaboration tools for smarter business communication and continually iterate apps through direct user feedback loops.
One of the secrets to Mendix’s power is its visual app development capability where organizations are able to build omni-channel apps very quickly.
When you use Mendix to manage your development projects, you get access to top-grade developer support. This includes eclipse integration to extend models with code, branching and merging for distributed development and hotfix delivery, version management for models and code, real-time consistency checks, live debugging, and component-based development with app store integration.
Business users can run their applications with a single click while automated provisioning of application environments and developer sandboxes for instant testing are two of the ways that Mendix makes DevOps more efficient.
You can choose between a public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise, and use Mendix’s Build Server API to test automation and continuous integration before your app goes live. You can also run your innovation on any device, including mobile smartphones and tablets.
Mendix offers tools that enable users to manage all of their applications (mobile and desktop), configurations, and resources for a unified, centralized dashboard. This central app management feature includes backups, logging, and monitoring in real-time.
Central app management allows you to build, share and run custom apps without relying on your organization’s traditional IT resources. Not only does this increase organizational agility, but it also unlocks creative potential within the workforce. App environments are configurable to a user’s needs.
Users can integrate with other apps through Mendix’s API. It also supports the open OData standard for ease of bringing data from a Mendix app into other applications for analysis.
