Mendix Reviews & Product Details

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.

Mendix, unlike other platforms, has a firm focus on accelerating business & development. Where others have a more development orientated focus Menix gives more tools to organize and collaborate. So by adopting this platform, you do not only accelerate development you also allow your business to align with this capability. Next, to the platform, they also provide services to design and execute your digital practice which makes them so much more that just another platform.

Mendix always employs cutting-edge technology that asks adaptability of your people. You need an appetite to constantly innovate and improve to keep up.

We are one of the leading global Mendix providers and have solved countless business problems. Mainly focused on enterprise optimization and innovation.

Mendix enables you to drive faster and develop innovative products by the speed of ideas

for a single solution it might be expensive

digital transformation

What I like best is the way coding was made easier with the help of the GUI. The range of actions available make developing a business logic much quicker and very efficiently through microflows.

What I dislike is not the Modeler itself but the documentation available for it. Some of the functions that can be used in the Modeler are very poorly explained without any sufficient examples. I would definitely need some more information as to better understand and use the available functions.

The business problems resolved by Mendix and the app I am offering support for are in the insurance industry. I have managed to create a whole variety of features that simplify users' life throughout a quote/policy cycle.

How easy it it to get a working prototype out as well as the community.

There are some limitations currently, but with patches and fixes, those are getting resolved.

The benefits is what I stated above. We are able to create custom solutions that our clients can test within a fraction of the time.

It's relatively easy to build a working application and roll out to production, without any form of coding. Building with modularity in mind makes components highly reusable, including lots of building blocks available through an app store.

Not all app store apps are maintained well enough to keep working. Especially for the components built by Mendix itself, this is sometimes disappointing.

We were able to build applications for lots of different business processess that depend on data usage and interaction. Especially with data intensive applications, Mendix becomes really useful to replace numerous other applications, often built in Excel or Access. Eliminating user errors and errors in maintainability, while building and deploying way faster than traditional development can achieve.

From first setting up your project until having a running web application in the mendix cloud is a matter of hours.

The 'no-coding' marketing bubble by Mendix suggesting you don't need developers anymore.

We deliver integrated web-applications as extenesion to our customers existing CRM or ERP systems. With Mendix we can react much faster to changing requirements.

I've been working with the Mendix platform for 6 years now, and still find its easy to learn, hard to master developers user interface great. The built-in real-time model checking features are top notch, omnichannel development (develop functionality once, create a desktop/tablet/mobile app in a snap), ease of setting up integrations with other systems are great. The Mendix community, with its active developers and knowledge meetups is fantastic, anyone can learn almost an infinite amount of things in no time.

What could be improved upon is Mendix' document generation mechanism. It turns a graphical template into XSL-FO, which outputs PDFs, Docx, etc, but a simple change in the template requires an entire restart of your application. A 'generate preview document' button would be much better.

Creating business value for our customers. Helping them work better, faster, more efficient. Putting smiles on the faces of our end users and wowing them with fantastic looking apps, developed in days instead of weeks. Being able to change the application on the fly, stunning customers who have bad experiences with traditional development methods.

I am coming form a business (Accounting) background and could easily understand the coding logic. It really makes it simple to understand and to implement solutions.

It takes some time understading what Mendix does and what is does not. you as a developer must know where to take over.

Using Mendix we can rapidly deploy systems and therefore, minimizing time to market.

The fact that I can sit down with an end user and create their perfect application together with them in a single sit.

The license system is focused on medium to big firms, whereas the pricing model often is unfavorable for a small firm only needing a single small application.

There is no limit to the problems that can be addressed and solved, from client facing to back-end, with no limit on industry. Benefits are realised for all parties involved, both at the client and customer side.

Low-code rapid development in an easy to use modeler with default great designs

Nothing, really. I have submitted a few improvement requests in the past, but they are all implemented already.

We provide businesses with supply chain portals, inventory management, customer relations management and product information management.
