Mendix Reviews

The fact that it works. In my experience, the competition had too many requirements/limitations/bugs that make them very tedious to be used by someone who doesn't have experience with it. Mendix does what it's supposed to do and doesn't expect its users to implement workarounds for every new feature. The integration between development, versionning, CI/CD is both simple and powerful. Native featureset is very extensive. Although I've never had to do it myself so far, it's good to know that Java/JavaScript features can always be added if need be.

The mobile app deployment system through PhoneGap is confusing. Native themes are visually slightly outdated. Modifications to CSS are doable through SASS editors. It would be nice if it were better integrated with the no-code IDE.

Simple applications are really easy to create and manage using this software. Thanks to online capabilities and built in SVN/git it is possible to quickly deliver applications while collaborating with the team. From my experience the development process is 5 times faster than with traditional development methods! My customers are always surprised that we can deliver production ready application within even two months! Another plus is the possibility to add java and javascript actions when a custom operation is required.

While developing a simple application is really easy using Mendix, when the logic is more complex and the operations are more sophisticated, the process gets harder. Because of development speed every change in requirements is twice as painful. The platform is also not the best when it comes to performance - some operations are impossible to be developed optimally without usage of java code. Also mendix academy courses have errors which makes it hard to train newcomers in the technology.

What I like most about Mendix, is the ability to make or create the appls dedicated to Large companies easily, quickly with very low code. this platform also offers us virtuals models that helps us achieve type of appls we want for the company.

I don't encounter any problem in the use of Mendix,my opinion it is designed for large companies and is not as good on adviser for medium-sized companies.

I use it to weartest products, which I love to do. So it’s hard not to like.

Most of the time when I pull up this site, it loads so I cannot see the left side of the screen. This is frustrating. I don’t know how to fix it.

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.

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.

You need to install the business modeler program in your local, and design your business model (domain) model through this program. You can develop applications for both web and mobile. This is a very important feature. By using the structure they call micro-flow, we can design business processes and business rules without coding.

In order to use the tools and the system efficiently, training is required. It is a somewhat complex software.

I rarely encountered bugs and technical difficulties using this software. It has been excellent in data gathering and reporting. We integrate our product and customer data using this software, and it has been perfect so far.

Although rare, the system sometimes slows up when a lot of information are being handled. This lead to delays in my day-to-day activities.

+ 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

- 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.

I've worked through Mendix for one of the university projects, where we modelled a warehouse and production with a detailed specification of roles and functionalities. It ended up being a very straightforward job, as Mendix bypasses the need for coding, be it backend or even frontend, it handles everything. It let us create a massive and detailed system in a fraction of the time it would take for it to be developed in Java, for instance.

At times it could be inconsistent, and I believe it was due to performance issues, where rushing through functionalities would cause them to break due to not being able to save changes fast enough.

Easy to learn, quick to master. Rapid development Easily scalable Continuous improvements to the platform

The licence system makes Mendix unaccessible for smaller budgets. Some Mendix versions can contain annoying bugs.

Thank you for your review! We strive to make the best product possible; user feedback is always encouraged and appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Your feedback inspires us to make Mendix's application platform even better.

One click deployment with super-fast turnaround from a concept to something substantial in days. End-to-end services provided. Highly scalable or can even be quite complex but still maintains flexibility and speed to do changes easily.

Appstore has less apps right now but it should grow with the new appcloud and sandbox releases.

With very limited development experience, I felt designing web application, managing the navigations and publishing the application is relatively easy. The exhaustive list of tools offer make the product comprehensive in development the UI. The changes made get saved right away into the cloud enabling better collaboration among team members. We were able to build a proof of concept in less than 24 hrs.

With the basic version, the "take over" functionality sometimes is annoying when one is working in group.

Hello Tiko, thank you for your review! We strive to make the best product for our users, and your feedback is key to that success.

The fact that I can create an application in days rather than months or years, and customize the application as it suits my needs.

Mendix is a licensed system which make it inaccessible for smaller budgets. Some versions contain annoying bugs.
