Enables you to boost your sales by displaying customized upsell offers to your customers when they are more likely to accept them on the add-to-cart or checkout option
I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
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

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"The ability to deploy functionality daily, weekly, or monthly has greatly increased our competitive advantage in the market."
"Its graphic interface, which allows you to develop rapidly and in a structured way, and the fact that it is an all-in-one solution, producing a system that is ready to run immediately."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"You could actually build an application as someone from the business side is explaining what the solution requires."
"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."
"Dashboards are valuable; it is easier to visualize data, and it is low code where the developers can still develop in Java, which to us is very appealing."
"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."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"Lastly, the licensing model does not scale well with many users. This is a huge problem as apps that have many users become very expensive and can kill the business case."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"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."
"As mentioned, there needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components so that other platforms will not be used in place of the UI interface of Mendix, such as Angular."
"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."
"All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program."
"When a mainframe system with a very large database and batch process was rebuilt in Mendix, we came across performance issues."
"ROIs at this stage is not good because of the high license fees."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
