Cloud-based, helps fill gaps and that seamlessly integrates with existing systems
Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software. It integrates seamlessly with my existing ERP systems, enabling me to build attractive and user-specific solutions. Its cloud-based platform supports agile methods and enhances my development speed. These features enable me to better meet my organizational needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think it's the best content management system, fulfilling all the requirements of a CMS tool."
"I have found Adobe Experience Manager Mobile to be reliable."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"Excellent support is offered for Mendix"
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"It is stable."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
 

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."
"An improvement I would like to see is the ability to version manage independent modules. Their version management for software repositories must be better. It's good and you can do it, but it needs work."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"It is expensive."
"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 would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a product with a high licensing cost."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"Mendix licensing cost is based on the number of apps you have on the server. At the basic level, it is free of charge, so that seems reasonable, but once you go beyond that, and when it comes to the number of users on the app, that basic structure doesn't work, and the pricing tends to get a little bit steep."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"From a commercial point of view, we would like them to change that they currently sell it as a platform, but as a customer you have to decide upfront the usage of the platform. We would like to have Mendix sell it as a pay as you go model: You pay for what you use, and you don't pay for what you don't use."
"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."
