"You can scale the solution."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application. We are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software. Our workflows and processes have evolved and improved. The fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"The most valuable features of Pega BPM are low code, no code, functionality, and easy development."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as we can configure it to best suit our requirements."
"Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."

"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"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."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"Mendix needs to think about itself offering machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"The initial setup takes time."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"Pega BPM could improve the UI, it is poorly designed to have a good UX experience."
