Mendix isn't just an IDE or a coding language; it's a whole platform where you don't have to worry about hosting or monitoring your application, tracking project progress or user stories, as everything is essentially provided by the platform, and it has a very active community helping you out if you have any questions at all.

After implementing Mendix, they reduced by 98% the engineers' relocation, as 98% of the cases are now being done by video calls instead of in-person appointments, which says a lot, even though the company didn't provide any numbers on how much is saved.

The best features Mendix offers in my experience include its readiness to go to market, which reduces the effort and time consumed in developing an application end-to-end.

For a legacy application that typically takes a year, we can now complete it in just one or two months.

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.

Since using Mendix, I can say that mostly the development time would be a year, but we can complete it within three months with Mendix, which is very time-saving; in my career, I have completed around 9 to 10 projects.

The low-code feature has helped my team and made my work easier because there are default templates, so we don't need to create or write code.

Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software.

Mendix Cons review quotes

Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Sep 24, 2025
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.

It would also be a 10 if we have a faster Studio Pro, like not taking too much time to process things, especially when projects are too large; those two aspects would make it a 10 for me.

Integration with external databases can be slow, and it burdens queries when trying to pull large datasets, thus slowing down page execution.

Mendix can be improved in that, while it is good at pricing, it lacks a small business budget project for startups wanting to build their portfolio.

Improvements for Mendix include that sometimes it gets hung while loading.
Abhinav Behera - PeerSpot reviewer

Since it's low-code, I would like Mendix to be web-based, so we shouldn't need to install Mendix to create an app.

All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program.
