Our company had a difficult time searching for the mobile and development platform that would best enable us to meet our business goals. In order to find the platform that would work best for us, we had to test many different solutions. We found that both Salesforce Platform and Mendix offer us the greatest value among the vast pool of mobile and development platforms.
As soon as we started our search, one feature that immediately stuck out was Salesforce Platform’s mobile capabilities. Salesforce Platform’s suite enables administrators in my company to utilize it from anywhere we choose. It has, among other features, a mobile application. This empowers our team to build applications from the location that is most suitable for our current needs. In a world that is relying more and more on remote work, it is necessary for us to be able to use any device and location for our work. Salesforce Platform connects all of our devices and makes it possible for us to meet this need.
A major benefit that Salesforce Platform offers us is the high level of flexibility that is incorporated into its design. It leverages a number of powerful and useful capabilities to provide us with a platform that is adapted to meet our objectives. These capabilities include:
Salesforce integration services. Salesforce Platform is designed so that we don’t have to use it and develop applications in a vacuum. We are able to utilize a wide variety of solutions, including ERPs that can optimize our application design process. Our team can seamlessly integrate Salesforce with these other solutions.
Selection of many common programming languages. Salesforce Platform enables our programmers to design and build our applications using the programming language that they choose. They can select the language that they are most comfortable with or the one that is inmost appropriate for the project that they are currently developing.
A wealth of add-ons and plug-in options. Salesforce Platform utilizes a feature called Salesforce AppExchange to give us the ability to customize our applications. There are thousands of add-ons and plug-ins to choose from when building our applications. Additionally, we can read up to 90,000 reviews to ensure that we choose the best add-ons for our projects.
One of the most important features of Mendix is its low code design. Mendix is designed so that no matter the level of skill that our developers have, they can build the applications through the GUI without having to have an in-depth understanding of coding. Mendix gives them access to an ever-expanding library of building blocks that our developers can use to construct the type of application that best suits our needs.
Mendix also leverages AI in a way that allows us to create personalized and contextualized application experiences for our users. It uses preexisting connectors to enable us to put together the application that best meets our user’s needs.

From a Small and Medium Enterprise standpoint choosing a LCNC Mobile Development Platform depends on a few factors like
a) Is the mobile development platform able to fill the business requirements and solve the real problem (an analogy that comes to my mind is.....you dont need a Porsche if you only drive to the super market once a week to get your groceries - so SME's dont need a state of the art Development platform for churning out say for example a Field Sales App for example)
b) is the platform to difficult for internal resources to learn, develop and maintain source code? (means more specialist skills required to manage with the platform)
c) Is the platform going to cost a leg and an arm (meaning too costly for SMEs to invest in licenses)
d) Integration to Backend DB for the SMB/SME market (eg: Microsoft D365 BC, Sage X3, Epicor, SAP B1 etc.) must be super simplified.
e) Does it support DevOPS
f) Are the minimal security protocols being followed to ensure there are no compromises on data and platform security
g) Can the existing resources (eg: Web Developers, ERP Developers, Business Process experts who are program logic savvy) be reskilled to quickly adopt themselves to build Enterprise grade Cross Platform
