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

"It's very flexible."
"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"Mendix stands out for its speed and efficiency, especially for standardized business applications, and its integration with Java and JavaScript allows extending functionality beyond typical low-code limitations."
"The built-in security makes security-by-design from the start possible."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application; we are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software, and our workflows and processes have evolved and improved, as the fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"Mendix isn't just an IDE or a coding language; it's a whole platform where you don't have to worry about hosting or monitoring your application, tracking project progress or user stories, as everything is essentially provided by the platform, and it has a very active community helping you out if you have any questions at all."
"I highly regard Mendix because of its proper support, troubleshooting options, extensive learning path, and the availability of different types of exams."
"I also worked on another platform where deployment could easily take hours, yet with Mendix, it was minutes."
 

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."
"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."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"The cost model could be better. It is expensive."
"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."
"We have tried to contact commercial support by phone and email but they never responded to any of our attempts."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Mendix?
I do not have much experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing because the sales or business team usually handles that, and as a developer, I don't have a clear idea.
What needs improvement with Mendix?
I think Mendix can be improved by supporting automated tests more easily. For example, Mendix can add some IDs for each component to build the automation tests more easily.
What is your primary use case for Mendix?
I use Mendix to build a system about the consultation of APIs. We are using Mendix to build a system to check SAP, which is another system, and we use APIs to bring information from SAP to this pro...
