Mendix Recensies & Productdetails

Mendix offers a great platform, not only for developing, but also hosting, deploying and maintaining your applications, facilitating the entire development cycle of an application. Applications can be made really fast, and with the help of the Mendix Modeler, almost without any coding. Changes in your app can be done very easily, because Mendix handles everything in the background for you. Great when a customer wants a change, and you can do it while the customer is sitting next to you and can immediately see the changes. Integrations are also really using. Using Mendix, you can consume or publish SOAP or Rest services very easily. Using the Sprintr platform, deploying your app in the Mendix cloud is very easy and user friendly.

Mendix offers a lot of standard tools/widget to use in your applications, which make developing your apps really fast, but when you want something different from the standard, you have to reside to custom coding. It is possible within the platform, but may require some more time.

Development speed, being able to quickly respond to changes. For customers, we have used Mendix to create custom apps with integrations quickly, where standard off the shelf products do not suffice.

I like the speed of the whole system. With Mendix, you are able to deliver prototypes in a very short time. I also like the integration of webservices like soap and rest. Data modeling is well structured in Mendix. Last but not least, I like the online tutorials, webinars, forum,...

Sometimes, Ui development is not as intuitive as it seems at first sight. Especially if you are a backend developer that is not very familiar with frontend web development. Sometimes.

Mendix is great to build a custom application that just fits the business needs. Instead of paying for standard software and changing your business to work with the software you build your application to work with/for your business. Also, the software is growing with your business and can be constantly changing to always fit your requirements. The users can (and should be) involved in the development process.

The pleasure of getting results quick and being able to show prototypes and first drafts to your customers with speeds they don't expect.

The extendability of the platform. You can write widgets and extra javacode, but this requires a lot of custom tooling, steps and knowledge.

Small learning curve for entry level developers. Quick time to market and fast results.

The ability to visually design a domain model. Allowing developers to quickly create a model, keep it simple, clear and explainable to the business. As the domain model is the core of the application, this really matters later on in a project. Next to that almost anything can be realized quickly and well.

As a low code platform Mendix provides a lot of default elements, however when these do not fit the requirements you have to revert back to coding to provide alternatives. Mendix is working on improving this however, making the default widgets more adaptable.

Bridging different platforms (SAP, ArcGIS, etc) within one organization. A company wide project planning tool. HSE suite.

The effiicacity by developpong a product or just ameloriate it!

The older version of the mendix platfform are really slow !

The time to release!

I am very pleased with the ease of use. Mendix allows me to quickly and easily make a GUI for my applications running on the IBM Bluemix platform.

I dislike that it cannot run on a Mac, forcing me to run a virtual machine.

I was looking for an easy method of producing a GUI that could call the IBM Bluemix services and applications I was running.

I love how straightforward it is to develop using Mendix. All the hassle of setting up database from scratch is removed and deployments are a breeze, leaving me free to play around with UI and UX which is where the user sees and feels the most value. Debugging is also very easy and clear, while microflows allow me to put together sophisticated logic actions in a very short space of time. It's amazing to be able to gather a set of requirements on Monday and show the team a proof of concept by Friday.

Mendix can feel a little constrained at times. There would be certain features a user or user representative would request and I know that to implement such a feature using Mendix would be ten times as difficult as "traditional" development, if it was even possible. There is also a little work to "undo" some of the out of the box features that Mendix provides a project with, if required, for example styling changes. But these changes are only necessary if you want a lot more control over how the app looks and works without using default settings. Some of the widgets could be very restrictive and you have to have a good idea of the granularity of data in order to manipulate the screens to their best potential.

I used Mendix to produce solutions for a telehealth team. The benefits of using this tool included being able to provide demonstrations of the product very soon after specification, as well as respond quickly to feedback and make appropriate alterations.

Mendix is a brand-new world. The low code concept must be the trend. I used Blue Prism before so I can easily catch these similar ideas.

The web modeler can't do some complicate activities so I had to switch to desktop modelers. But sometimes the web modeler is much easier to do some UI work. It was slow and not easy to make sure both modelers sync very well.

Mendix apps replace the legacy application in a much better new level. The back-end data will be changed to Big Data so the front-end legacy apps can't work anymore.

Speed of Development to allow quick feedback loops. Covers basic implementations very well.

Debugging failure within Micro-flows is difficult.

Faster loop back cycles is helping us develop and get feedback from the product development.

Once you get the hang of it you can quickly build applications and keep them working while further developing them. Everything is moldable to how you want it.

Not as easy to understand as I'd hoped - coming from a totally different background I still have to learn a lot. I can see why it's called low code but it's definitely different from no code! Extra skills such as Java, JavaScript and CSS are more than recommended to optimally use Mendix.

Quick solutions for in-house applications.
