It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience

The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.

Mitchel Mol BGS

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

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions, and as someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."

"There is a free version of the solution you can use."

"The complete stack: You have a complete cloud operations, and everything is included."

"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."

"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."

"Right now, if any company or client asks me for a low-code solution in Industry 4.0 space, I would just say, "You don't have to spend money on doing an assessment, Mendix is your go-to.""

"The solution was good in our tests but we could not get a hold of the company for further inquiries."

"Since Mendix is a low-code platform, the ROI is significant; we save a lot of money and require fewer people to do an application, reduced to two, which drastically decreases development time because this is not traditional programming; just drag and drop, and we can complete projects that would take years within months."

"I also worked on another platform where deployment could easily take hours, yet with Mendix, it was minutes."

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options.

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to do a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out."

"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."

"The solution has been very expensive overall. It was not cheap."

"In the next version I would like the Rest Service Module to be incorporated into Mendix, similar to the way web services work."

"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."

"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."

"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."

"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."

"There's no direct tech support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."
