Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's extremely easy to use in getting into the IDE and then back down to your applications, and getting from your applications to your pages, and navigating through all your tables. That's very simple and pretty intuitive."
"VINYL works across different data sources. It is very useful to be able to map the data across different data sources and different environments. It is also very easy to develop small applications within a short span of time."
"It's made things seamless and it's more efficient, and there's an audit trail where it wasn't there before."
"It allows us higher visibility into our data, which allows us to data-check faster, and validate data that we had not been able to validate, prior."
"It's like breaking apart coding and development into an ultra-configuration tool... It really is flexible."
"The ZPM system enables us to organize projects and monitor their progress. The ease of logging into the VINYL app to test new features makes testing smoother, and we feel more involved in the creation of the app and its functions at every step of the way."
"The ease of moving around the platform cannot be understated."
"VINYL has given us the ability to really improve the speed with which we deploy releases and respond to the good ideas that our people have."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"Version 2.3 has a good UI but we want a more customizable UI."
"During the initial rollout, the text editor wasn't 100% what we were looking for, but we were able to get the job done. After some discussions and finding ways to use different plugins during the short term, Zudy actually came back a few months later and said that they have integrated a standard product into their text editing that checked all the boxes for us."
"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."
"I would love to have the home screen a little more customizable because, as we're building more and more reports, it would be nice to have more options in how they're organized on the screen."
"It might help if they put out different types that would provide different ways to view the data. I'd like to see more on that."
"The documentation isn't everything it could be, and the user forum is not always the most helpful."
"I would like them to build out more tools for communication, particularly the ability to do a multinode panel via email."
"There are some acknowledged technical limitations. I was looking to do some metadata manipulation, which is very atypical. Zudy said that they will work on building me a workaround. If there is a weakness, that would be it."
"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."
"Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement."
"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."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
