Our application responds faster and uses global data effectively
The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge. Since the data is on the edge, it makes the application more responsive worldwide, thus lowering the loading time and increasing user engagement. The scalability of Cloudflare Workers is also impressive, as it can handle spikes of traffic with ease. Cloudflare Workers also contributes to the application being faster and geographically distributed.
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"It is stable."
"Excellent support is offered for Mendix"
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
 

Cons

"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."
"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."
"There's no direct tech support."
"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."
"The vendor should focus more on the opinion of the users and make improvements"
"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."
"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."
"All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program."
"It is expensive."
"Mendix could improve in customization and UI, UX flexibility, native mobile development, and agile tooling for developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"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."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"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."
"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."
