I like it because it is very easy to learn and you can manage to create medium complexity apps very quickly.
There isn't much that I do not like, I would prefer if we could have more performance and quality monitoring tools available as free modules
Mainly I managed to automate some processes which were previously done in Excel
Mendix is the fastest and easiest platform to build and continuously improve mobile and web development applications at scale!
There's not anything I dislike about this platform! We help customers digitally transform their organization and industries by building, managing, and improving apps at unprecedented speed and scale!
Ability to combine agile Rapid Application Development platforms and our own Big Data / Internet of Things/ Artificial Intelligence platform to offer smart apps that are connected, content-driven, context-aware, and proactive.
The ease and speed with which you can write applications.
The support services aren't always helpful.
The fast development cycle allows to quickly adjust to requirements set by the business.
With Mendix you build apps fast en show it to the customer directly
I haven't found anything yet that I dislike
Customers having insight in data within SAP via a customer portal
Great way to build business logic fast with enterprise grade security
pricing is a little high, but on par with competitors
optimisation of business processes adding value very quickly
I very like modeling the logic of a business process in Microflows and associations.
That you can not open two Microflows at the same time.
I am solving issues of Material Compliance.
The platform has given us the power to win the UWV/ SVB of oktober 2017 with Mendix. Within 24 hours we wore able to build the 1st solution. With its great standard features, and powerful extension capabilities in the form of building custom widgets we have made a single page app that was connected to Microsoft Face recognition, Google Speech to text and many more external services.
You need to be a fullstack programmer to truly capture and also understands its power. Its not for the business user, but for the professional who wants to develop at lightning speed.
Mendix allowed us to make an MVP (a Proof of Concept) in less then 24 hours. That is architectural designed with security first in mind. Capable to be used in a high demanding and high available IT environment.
It doesn't require tons of programming knowledge to build an application. Despite the default professional-looking styling, it's really handy to edit the styling as well!
Some documentations could be added and the idea forums could be used as a reference more often.
Data integration.
ease of use, easy to leran, build high scale application in a small time manner.
not yet, i didnt find any issue through development phase.
eServices. CRM.
Integration with other web services, especially SOAP based, but also other RESTful services, is extremely streamlined. Data structures and web service calls are auto-generated, and sending of files via different protocols is supported without any extra effort.
The App Store is critical to meeting customer expectation, because it features hundreds of ready-to-use components. The problem is that some of the components are not-updated regularly by their owners, and since Mendix is not the owner, support for these components is hard to come by.
Our company uses Mendix to empower customers to digitilize their business model and innovate in the digital realm by providing new, unique and competitive features. So far I have participated in three projects for three separate customers. For all of them, we have been able to deliver beautiful and functioning apps in record times, reducing the time from idea to production ready application to just a few months.
Closing the gap between business and IT. The ease of use, looks fantastic visually. Its a full package, you do not have to think about scalability, security, uptime it has all been arranged.
The pricing should be more flexible for SME and with less recurring fee's.
IT departments have gained control, less dependency on different tool, more capability to innovate.
Mendix provides an accessible platform for rapid development of various applications. Even though there are some limitations on what could be developed, the possibilities are vast. The extended possibilities combined with the speed and flexibility ensure that Mendix is a powerful tool.
The user interface of the desktop modeler has a few obvious shortcomings. The developer portal is very basic, especially for the administration of userstories and sprints.
Mendix seems to be splendid in connecting with existing applications and replacing older/inefficient applications.
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.
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.
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.
