Reliable, beneficial data flows, but design system sharing needs improvement
Adobe Experience Manager Mobile has helped us to have a better flow for data entry and build stages on our website Adobe Experience Manager Mobile could be improved by making it much easier to share the design system between different projects. I have been using Adobe Experience Manager Mobile…
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found Adobe Experience Manager Mobile to be reliable."
"I think it's the best content management system, fulfilling all the requirements of a CMS tool."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"Excellent support is offered for Mendix"
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software."
"Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software."
"The user experience is great."
 

Cons

"Adobe Experience Manager Mobile could be improved by making it much easier to share the design system between different projects."
"The license cost is too high, and customers hesitate to implement this solution."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a product with a high licensing cost."
"There is a license required to use Mendix. The solution's price is high, but it is best suited for enterprise companies that have the budget. It is not for small or medium-sized businesses."
"Initially, we started with a year for approximately $25,000, and if we need to expand the number of seats then we will increase it."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"Mendix seems a bit expensive. But in terms of wanting to have less developers and higher velocity, the total cost of ownership is fine. It's not cheap, though."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"Mendix is not open source, but its license cost is cheap, particularly when compared to the Appian license. The license model would depend on how many users you have and how many applications you are creating. If you are creating a single app, you just need to have a single app license, so it's free. If you want a multiple app license to cover two thousand or three thousand users, for example, internal users or external users, then you need to pay for the license. There's also a license model for above three thousand or four thousand, or five thousand internal and external users."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"I would not recommend the solution to small and medium-sized businesses because it’s expensive. It’s great for big organizations. I rate the pricing as a three out of ten."
