Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"What I found most valuable in Mendix is that it's very much suitable for mobile apps such as native Android or IOS supported mobile apps. The multiple features of the platform are very, very attractive and very popular. Mendix has technical features such as microflows and nanoflows. You can also access data models in the platform. These are the features that are very, very strong in Mendix. I got my hands dirty on other low-code platforms, but I have not seen such strong features in them compared to the microflows, nanoflows, and data model access that are in Mendix, including creating and integration. The platform has out-of-the-box adapters or out-of-the-box-connectors that you can integrate with different interface applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, etc."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."

"There's no direct tech support."

"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
