Mendix Make Integrations Ease
Easy to pick up, but can get complex
Powerful and easy-to-use product, however, pricing and integration capabilities could be improved
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
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 needs improvement?
One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging.
In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable and powerful.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable. We had a single application in development, and there were two developers with 15 end users.
How are customer service and support?
Six or seven months ago, I interacted with the technical support team, but since then, they haven't reached out to me. I tried to get in touch with them by asking some questions, and they mentioned that someone would contact me, but unfortunately, no one has reached out yet.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I run my businesses and develop applications. My friends and I are a small group of developers. In the past, we worked with technologies like C# and React. However, we are now looking to take the next step using local platforms.
I switched to this solution because of its database handling. You can create and draw your structure. The UI has powerful microflow, workflow, and nanoflow capabilities. It has great speed. It is suitable for developers with varying levels of experience. You can achieve tasks with minimal coding. The CSS and paging capabilities are great.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process took two to three weeks.
What about the implementation team?
I set up the solution on my own.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would not recommend the solution to small and medium-sized businesses because it’s expensive. It’s great for big organizations. I rate the pricing as a three out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have used React.js, JavaScript, C#, and Oracle Siebel. However, we strive to move to the next level for future projects.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate Mendix a six out of ten.
