Facilitates rapid integration and deployment while addressing database access limitations
What is our primary use case?
We automate a lot of processes with Mendix, primarily focusing on automation and robotic process automation.
What is most valuable?
The domain model of Mendix is highly valuable as it allows quick setup and public deployment. The framework structure, with its code and building blocks, makes it easy to build logic by dropping elements into place. Mendix's integration capabilities are impressive, allowing for rapid and on-the-fly integration of almost anything imaginable.
What needs improvement?
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection. Improvements in data grid, particularly for a global search capability when searching through associations, are necessary due to existing limitations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Mendix for two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate Mendix's stability as a seven. I recently encountered an issue with deploying applications on the Mendix sandbox, which took a week to resolve. Aside from this, we typically do not face significant issues with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We are about to enter the scalability phase, but previously we did not face any scalability issues as our projects did not require scaling. With upcoming projects, scalability will be tested.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from Mendix is very good. I would rate it as nine.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The setup process for Mendix is straightforward and user-friendly. I can quickly create an app and start development.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Mendix is quite expensive, and its pricing model makes it inaccessible for startups. The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups. Mendix should consider adjusting its pricing strategy to penetrate the startup market. Startups are deterred by the high costs despite their interest in the capabilities of Mendix.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I also have experience with AWS and find it preferable in terms of data provisioning, which is not available in Mendix's public cloud. AWS is a more transparent option without the black-box nature of Mendix's public cloud.
What other advice do I have?
Mendix faces existential threats from advancements in AI that can create full-stack applications at a lower cost. This needs addressing to remain competitive. I would rate the overall solution a seven.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Offers comprehensive integration options and support resources, allowing projects to be easily managed and scaled
What is our primary use case?
I use
Mendix for business purposes only, similar to other low-code and no-code platforms like
Unqork. It is not suitable for applications like Netflix, and it is specifically used in industries such as insurance, banking, and manufacturing.
What is most valuable?
I highly regard
Mendix because of its proper support, troubleshooting options, extensive learning path, and the availability of different types of exams. The solution is beneficial for integration with existing systems due to features like AI integration, SOAP integration, REST API integration, and various other options. Mendix offers validation, workflow and nanoflow minimization, user components, and follows best practices, making applications easily manageable and scalable. It saves time and cost while providing options for maintainability and scalability.
What needs improvement?
Currently, I do not see any improvements needed in Mendix. However, I have not used Mendix for the last few months, so I lack insight into any new features that might have been added.

Transformative Low-Code
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike many players in the low-code space where low-code capability is just an extention of some preixesting core capability (think Salesforce, Service Now, Microsoft, Appian), Mendix is a pure low-code platform entirely focused on low-code application development. This focus, allows the tools they provide to be intuitive to work with and extreemly capable in terms of technical delivery, and easy to integrate.
Althought it's designed to be an enterprise grade platform, they have licencing models that would be suitable for startups and smaller organisations.
By providing all the tools and services required to design, build and deploy - so implementation is very straignt forward.
In addition to their 24/7 online support Mendix provides a full online academy, and have a thriving online comunity - all of which delivers an outstanding developer support experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so much a dislike but just a reality of low code is that there are limitations that should be acknowledge.
Yes, it's fully extensible, but only in Java for server side logic, and JavaScript for client side logic - if you want to work in other languages/frameworks you'll need to build those functions elsewhere and integrate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional software development projects tend to be complex and costly. Mendix projects can be delivered extreemly quickly, and at a fraction of the cost - without sacrificing quality, security, or user experience.
