Coding is not complex with less coding can achieve many great feature releases.
Customer support is not that great since it's new to the market engineers require support for unknown problems.
Mendix helps to develop applications with low code development process.
Mendix is the most mature and most capable low-code platform on the market. It's a great fit for a broad set of use cases and great for large portfolios and a center of excellence and its vendor agnostic.
Nothing notable other than the demand for Mendix is very strong and like other popular technologies, resources are scarce. It's best to find a strong Mendix partner to help build out your Mendix apps and competencies.

The speed with which we can build and deliver custom applications.
Enablement of internal teams to scale their Mendix operations quickly.
We're a Mendix partner that uses the platform to build custom solutions for the enterprise. The problems we solve with the platform are diverse and varied.
Overall, Mendix is a powerful low-code development platform that enables businesses to rapidly build custom applications with minimal coding experience required, while also providing scalability, integration, and collaboration features.
Limited customization Cost Learning curve Lock-in while there are some potential downsides to using Mendix, these should be weighed against the benefits and specific needs of your organization when considering whether it is the right low-code development platform for your needs.
Mendix is solving several problems related to traditional software development by providing a low-code development platform that allows for faster, more agile development of custom applications
I always love to work in mendix which is low code no code enterprise application development software. The user interface and ease of using the software. And most likely continuous deployment and development and we can able to see the live design of application which we were developing.
In my point of view there is nothing to dislike in mendix. I completely love to work in mendix always. You have mendix market place for all the extra widgets you need to implement in your app. In every aspect it seems very good.
Mendix solves time consuming software development process mendix made it quick while you developing web applications and native mobile application. Easy to development and deployment.
In this tool we don't need to write code every thing can be built very easily and make resuable widgets are available in play store. Mendix 9 also provide various feature for mobile development
If we stuck at some place during development very less help available on google. Building complex ui is also not smooth
We can build applications very fast pace as compare to traditional coding like java or python. Cost of development has reduced very much
That it allows me to deploy applications. As a person with no IT background i did not believe that it was that easy to deploy and make applications. However, Mendix have shown me that it's possible! For simple things a person does not need a lot of experience, which allow a lot people to learn it and allows people also be more creative as you do not need to work with syntax errors and try to solve them the whole time!
Just a small dislike, but not that critical. I currently like the things I can do with Mendix. The only small thing that I dislike it that with the layout it sometimes makes it difficult to ensure that certain tabs or actions buttons are the right place. Even with placing them or with containers there might be a solution for this. However, I am not certain as I am not that experienced with Mendix.
It give people with no knowledge of IT the opporunity to make and deploy applications. With Mendix it is possible to shorten the learning curve what is needed to make applications. Mendix is RAD tool that I would recommend people i know! Also we are working with in Agile enviroment and we need to move faster. Mendix allows us to do this.
The visual IDE for developing apps and the automatic validation of the model. This allows you to develop fast without technical errors, and communicate easily with customers.
Some features are not their or not mature yet, then customization is needed. The app store helps, although some modules are not well documented.
We are accelerating businesses by creating innovative apps. Because development is faster then traditional coding projects the iteration of creating business value is much faster.
Great application, we were used Siebel Application and it was Causing us a lot of problems but we just use Mendix now and all problems are solved easily
i was not use all things in mendix but for now i like every thing
we used it for government sector and i used for UI & UX
It is efficient in many ways. Agile, Intuitive, very quick, ...
The default styling need some improvement
Actually a great variety of problems. Because you model instead of code, it's easier to implement the business requirements. A good understanding and analysis of the business processes is of course mandatory.
The platform is very easy to use for developers and enables collaboration between business and IT.
More checks on microflows would be nice to have to prevent certain specific errors.
I'm currently using Mendix as a consultant to optimize the promotion management processes of our customers.
With Mendix, it is very easy to quickly turn ideas into apps and still being able to customize through Java & JavaScript when necessary.
Modeler is a Windows only platform and it would be great if a version for OSX was developed.
Prototyping apps for specific use cases, streamline business processes, custom solutions for innovating companies.
Easy to pick up, perfect way to work with the business without losing them to technical mumbo jumbo. For try-outs you can use a free sandbox environment.
To use Mendix in a professional setting, a licence is required, which makes it hard to use for smaller companies.
Management of databases and projects.
Mendix is very easy to learn and free to try! The online learning paths are great and range from beginner to advanced. New learning paths are added frequently and the others are regularly maintained.
Customising the desktop modeler works fine (placing toolbars where you want etc) but there is no customizing the theme (yet). For instance a dark theme would be a great addition!
We can develop applications really quick (couple of days) and our customers are always amazed by the speed with which we can show them new features in the application.
After following the Rapid Developer course I was quickly able to build a rather complex (proof of concept) application for a transport company. Mendix enables you to develop applications in a fast, iterative and intuitive way with almost no coding knowledge. In the Mendix App Store you can find a lot of building blocks that you can use in your application; you don't need to 'reinvent the wheel'. Mendix has an active community forum that you can use to ask questions might you get stuck with a problem.
Deploying to the cloud can take some time.
We were able to rebuild and functionally extend an application in just three weeks which had been built in the traditional way (html, css) and which took three months to build.
I love the visual way of modeling. I don't have a technical background from my education. If you understand the business and do have affinity with modeling the Mendix platform will suit you like a glove. It is awesome to have the support of the community.
Updating from really old versions, going from a old version 5 to the latest version 7 is a pain. The mendix documentation however will be able to help and there is always the community to support you.
I've created multiple apps, last app we've created made a decrease in manual labor from 32 hours to 30 minutes, the app was created in just 3 weeks and the manual labor of 32 hours had a backlog of +2000 items left. The first two weeks we had no end-user involved, we could start creating an app and after this the end-user got involved. The whole data structure had to be rebuild (Difference of expectations between IT and Business...). The mendix platform is very agile and we've reconstructed everything in a couple of days. IT & business were surprise by the speed and efficiency.
I could show a demo to the client about the idea they expressed within 30 minutes and that explains it all!
License seems to be becoming a challenge these days with a 'tag' is being expensive.
Majorly the complex data handling, Workflow troubles are solved with ease + needed customizations
The thing I like about Mendix is that it's a full package for a low-code platform in which you can quickly develop your own applications. What I mean with full package is that it delivers not only a great platform, but also a large community where you can ask around about your challenges and great learning modules to understand the basics and advanced thing about Mendix.
There aren't much things that I dislike about the platfrom. If I should name one then it's the maintenance of the widgets that you can find in the app store. When you upgrade the platform to the newest version, some widgets aren't compatible any more.
We are solving a varity of business problemens with Mendix. For instance a often built in Excel or Access sheets. We are eliminating user errors and errors in maintainability, while building and deploying faster than traditional development can achieve.
The strengh of Mendix lies in the simple handeling and easy to grasp/learn logic and ui. The ease with which you can translate business idea's and implement these within a maner of hours or days. This really improves the interaction between IT and the rest of the business.
When handeling large datasets Mendix can be quite slow and you should resort to java or sql. As a lot of users are used to fancy iOS or Andriod apps, users often expect a lot or have wild ideas about how ui should work. Since you are bound to the framework of Mendix your options are limited to the framework. That being said, there are a lot of options to customize your layout/ui.
For my clients I have solved a lot of different problems in various industries.
Superfast learning curve. Very intuitive both the web and desktop modeller. Fast feedbackloop with business stakeholders and users. What you ask this morning is in this afternoons test version and deployed in the live environment tomorrow. Super smooth cloud deployment.
Mendix ease of use advantage is also a disadvantage. The ease of use support putting more and more functionality in the same app could in the end lead to functionalities being duplicated unnecessarily.
Customer portal for B2B customer allowing to open up the processes to the customers: => Order processing andowrkflow => Quote processing and workflow => logistics workflow => On demand document generation => Integration with backend SapB1 integration => Integration with Enterprise Content Managemnt Responding to innovative business needs. Removing the bloody handwork from the devops cycle. Work around a growing scarcity in technical IT staff. Very short time to market for new business ideas. Very agile in responding to business needs.
