Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."The solution is stable."
"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 most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"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."
"You can scale the solution."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"We have found the most valuable feature to be the pricing calculator."
"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."
"There are a lot of things that we like about it. It is very easy to provision and configure. It is flexible and scalable."
"The feature that we like best is integration with Active Directory."
"If you have large traffic amounts, Microsoft Azure will continue to provide our customers with the best storage experience."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"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."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"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."
"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."
"Due to the pandemic, I haven't been able to utilize their full resources. This has made it complicated to scale up. I hope this will be resolved after the pandemic."
"The product's initial setup process and stability need improvement."
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful. However, I don't think that is the goal of Microsoft Azure. They want the solution to be secure cloud solutions with cloud applications. This is their main goal at the moment."
"The technical support is good, but the response time is poor."
"Microsoft Azure is so complicated inside. If you should do something internally, if you have to configure something, the opinion about Azure is that it is a little complicated inside. That's why the end users and clients are looking for help and why we help them configure and do anything inside of Azure. That is why we offer other tools to optimize the Azure environment."
"One key area for improvement is the Azure load balancer. Currently, it only supports virtual machines (VMs) running in the same virtual network (vNet) on the backend. They should definitely support machines or IPs running on-premises (prem) or in other Azure VNets. GCP and AWS already support that. So, Azure Load Balancer should support that as well"
"It is pretty secure, but it can always be more secure."
"The response time and stability of Microsoft Azure need to be improved."
