We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.5
Mendix offers cost savings and quick app development but substantial fees may affect overall investment returns for some users.
Sentiment score
7.3
UiPath Platform users experience rapid ROI with cost savings, increased productivity, error reduction, and improved task accuracy.
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.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Since Mendix is a low-code platform, the ROI is significant; we save a lot of money and require fewer people to do an application, reduced to two, which drastically decreases development time because this is not traditional programming; just drag and drop, and we can complete projects that would take years within months.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER at Siemens Industry
I have seen a return on investment with Mendix, as in default software development, a team with 10 developers or more is needed, while here we can do it with one or two developers, so it is truly a money saver for the company.

Room For Improvement

UiPath users seek improved AI, competitive pricing, clearer documentation, better scalability, and enhanced third-party integration for optimal performance.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.

Setup Cost

Mendix pricing is high for small businesses but offers transparency and potential discounts for large enterprises and long-term commitments.
UiPath Platform offers flexible pricing, free Community Edition, but higher costs for large deployments, valued for scalability and ROI.
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.
Mendix developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is reasonable;
CTO at Blue Green Solutions

Featured Reviews

Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
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.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.
