ROI

Sentiment score
7.2
GitHub CoPilot boosts productivity, efficiency, and resource management, though it may be costly for some individual users.
Sentiment score
6.2
Mendix's free version and automation enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and support growth, despite high license fees impacting returns.
Efficiencies with GitHub CoPilot have improved by 30%, which means a quicker go-to market and a simplified way of documenting technical designs.
It's not that they're really firing that personnel, but they can often focus on the core that really matters instead of repetitive processes in Excel forms and all of the overhead and human error that comes with that.
I see a fair return on investment using Mendix.
 

Customer Service

GitHub CoPilot support receives mixed reviews; users value knowledgeable help but note delays, relying on community and Microsoft resources.
Sentiment score
6.9
Mendix offers comprehensive resources and active community support but experiences mixed reviews on response times and portal improvements.
With a large user base, it covers a wide range of questions, from simple to complex, ensuring that answers are available.
GitHub technical support is excellent.
I haven't often needed to seek direct support from Mendix teams as their online resources and knowledge database are comprehensive.
Mendix provides proper support, troubleshooting options, and a helping community.
If it's about having an issue that I can't solve despite being a Mendix expert and having tried every single bit and piece, support can feel like a stone wall.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
GitHub CoPilot scales well but faces reliability issues under high traffic, with performance varying by deployment scale and plan.
Sentiment score
6.9
Mendix efficiently scales horizontally and vertically, offering flexible solutions for private cloud users despite some public cloud limitations.
It cannot be fully depended on to build every component and run a large enterprise application without significant human intervention.
With an enterprise plan, there are no limitations, so scalability is not an issue.
Mendix supports scaling well with its comprehensive online documentation and learning paths.
Mendix provides options for handling scalability and maintainability through features like validation, workflow and nanoflow minimization, and user components, enabling projects to be easily managed and scaled.
Also solutions processing data at scale, talking about one million packages a day.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
GitHub CoPilot is stable with minor connectivity issues, prompting some users to explore alternatives for certain tasks.
Sentiment score
7.3
Mendix is highly stable with minor performance issues, reliable architecture, effective support, and high user satisfaction post-Siemens investment.
In most cases, it does not generate irrelevant code.
At certain times, you may not get the required response and realize it's either down or not responding for other reasons.
Mendix has been stable in my experience, with reliable performance for enterprise applications and minimal downtime or critical issues.
I recently encountered an issue with deploying applications on the Mendix sandbox, which took a week to resolve.
 

Room For Improvement

GitHub CoPilot needs improved stability, integration, suggestion accuracy, contextual awareness, language support, and pricing to enhance functionality and usability.
Users seek enhancements in Mendix's templates, integration, UX, databases, reporting, pricing, version control, AI, support, and customization.
There is excellent support across various code editors like JetBrains, VS Code, and NeoGen.
To understand our application better and learn from it would likely require access to the entire codebase, which a lot of companies may not allow.
GitHub CoPilot should be integrated with different IDEs beyond VS Code.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable.
Native development is not very strong, and some developer tools are missing, such as shortcuts to edit multiple variables.
 

Setup Cost

GitHub CoPilot costs $10 monthly for personal use, $19 for enterprise, with possible discounts for current GitHub licensees.
Mendix is costly but efficient, suitable for large enterprises with budgets, yet less accessible to startups.
They recently made Copilot free to use up to a certain limit, which is a positive change.
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is reasonable;
From the pricing shown on the Mendix webpage, we have a basic package where you pay 60 Euros a month for five users and 10 Euros per additional user.
 

Valuable Features

GitHub CoPilot enhances productivity with code generation, test creation, multi-language support, and seamless IDE integration for faster development.
Mendix offers rapid, low-code development with seamless integrations and agile support for secure, scalable enterprise and mobile applications.
It is certainly time-saving; we have seen upwards of around 30% plus of time savings using GitHub CoPilot.
Copilot is integrated into my environment, providing the context and the bigger picture of how the code is used throughout the project.
GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings.
Mendix's integration capabilities are impressive, allowing for rapid and on-the-fly integration of almost anything imaginable.
The best features that Mendix offers are proper guardrails that prevent starting from scratch, ensuring a certain level of security, user experience, and standardization for implementing workflows, API integrations, and how you set up your domain model.
For security, I value the built-in authentication, role-based access control, and data protection features, which make enterprise apps safer without needing heavy custom setup.

Saves time with context-aware code suggestions and seamless integration
In terms of improvements for Copilot, I haven't considered much since it offers many useful interactions. It integrates well with GitHub repositories, tracks changes on PRs, and provides valuable suggestions where applicable. There is excellent support across various code editors like JetBrains, VS Code, and NeoGen. I also run many automations within GitHub. When an NPR is raised, it automatically provides suggestions, which is part of the enterprise edition without limitations. While I don't see immediate room for improvement, one suggestion is for Copilot to provide specific suggestions for certain lines of code instead of rewriting entire sections. If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load.
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.
