Reliable, beneficial data flows, but design system sharing needs improvement

Has delivered fast app creation with AI and reduced field engineer visits through smart video solutions
It would be great for AI in Mendix to read my whole project and understand the whole business, so all I need to do is ask, hey, what does this button do, and why is that button there? AI could answer me why we have that button, and what that button does. I know that this is something in progress by Mendix; eventually, we will get that feature, but this is something that we definitely need because new developers that join a project might struggle to understand the whole business, especially in complex applications. I chose eight instead of a higher or lower number because Mendix would be a 10 if we have the feature that I just mentioned, like asking why that button is there and getting a clear answer about its business purpose. It would also be a 10 if we have a faster Studio Pro, like not taking too much time to process things, especially when projects are too large; those two aspects would make it a 10 for me.

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."
"Adobe Experience Manager Mobile has helped us to have a better flow for data entry and build stages on our website."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"It gave the organizations I worked for the ability to create far more complex applications with a smaller team and in a shorter time frame."
"What I found most valuable in Mendix is that it's very much suitable for mobile apps such as native Android or IOS supported mobile apps. The multiple features of the platform are very, very attractive and very popular. Mendix has technical features such as microflows and nanoflows. You can also access data models in the platform. These are the features that are very, very strong in Mendix. I got my hands dirty on other low-code platforms, but I have not seen such strong features in them compared to the microflows, nanoflows, and data model access that are in Mendix, including creating and integration. The platform has out-of-the-box adapters or out-of-the-box-connectors that you can integrate with different interface applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, etc."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"For a legacy application that typically takes a year, we can now complete it in just one or two months."
"Mendix as a tool is very, very suitable for a single developer, for business users who have very little knowledge of programming language, so a single developer can create a quick app out of Mendix."
"The low-code feature has helped my team and made my work easier because there are default templates, so we don't need to create or write code."
"It is a brilliant solution."
 

Cons

"The license cost is too high, and customers hesitate to implement this solution."
"Adobe Experience Manager Mobile could be improved by making it much easier to share the design system between different projects."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"Improvements for Mendix include that sometimes it gets hung while loading."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"I think Mendix can be improved by supporting automated tests more easily."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"The cost of total ownership needs to be better. The licenses are very expensive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a product with a high licensing cost."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"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."
"Its cost is higher than competitors. The cost mostly includes licensing. It is charged per user. The cost model could be better. When you have a big company, what does per user mean? If I have a company where I have 40,000 people who will go to access it but only 200 do, how do you license it and who do you pay for? If they hit it once, do you pay for it? The licensing is complex for a big company. It is easy for us to buy all we can eat, get an enterprise license agreement, and call it good."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"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."
"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."
"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."
