We automate a lot of processes with Mendix, primarily focusing on automation and robotic process automation.

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.

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.

I have been working with Mendix for two to three years.

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.

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.

The technical support from Mendix is very good. I would rate it as nine.

Positive

The setup process for Mendix is straightforward and user-friendly. I can quickly create an app and start development.

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.

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.

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.

I used the solution to develop an application for a parking system. It manages everything from parking cards, payments, eGates, tickets, and more.

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.

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.

I have been using the solution for the past three years.

The product is stable and powerful.

The tool is scalable. We had a single application in development, and there were two developers with 15 end users.

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.

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.

The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process took two to three weeks.

I set up the solution on my own.

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.

We have used React.js, JavaScript, C#, and Oracle Siebel. However, we strive to move to the next level for future projects.

Overall, I rate Mendix a six out of ten.
