We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Mendix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."We face very few hardware failures."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It's definitely good for unstructured data. In earlier days, we had Centera, so for the DR it's really good. It has load balancing facility, and we're using it with the Kemp Load Balancer."
"This product is very competitive."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a stable platform."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"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."
"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."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"The solution is stable."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"The disaster recovery could be improved because there should be something in-built within the ECS. Search and recovery should be in-built. Right now, we have to use some external tools for performing the recovery itself. For example, we're using Atempo or deploying Golden Superna, so it has dependency on the external third party vendors."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"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."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
