CRM Assistant for Gmail™ vs. Mendix

Since this is a simple add-on, and we don't work at home, its mobility is very useful for employees like us who need to travel for work. We can check on our phones or tables if there's an important update. It works well with GMail mobile app and easily accessible anytime, anywhere.

Mendix excels in scenarios involving Business Process Automation, making it a strong choice for applications requiring workflow automation, including processes like request approvals, document management, and other business workflows.Conversely, Mendix may be less suitable for projects that demand highly customized solutions with extensive custom coding. Its primary focus on low-code development may not align well with the requirements of projects that heavily rely on intricate and specialized coding.

• We're able to really easily develop different views that are very specific to a customer's needs or customer's different types of user needs. So for example, the production managers can have a certain view that's relevant to them and then certain line managers can have views that are specific to them that allow them to run different scenarios which they define. So it allows us to easily build customized apps for each different type of user.

• It's dependency on other apps
• This could have been a multiple in one if they just integrated everything else in CRM Assistant for Gmail™
• Recently Opened Records could have been placed in a different tab for its own, instead of the home page

• Earlier versions lacked in UI/Ux. This is still improving.
• Since everyone and anyone can create custom add ons (widgets), Mendix could improve their quality checks (but not as rigid as eg Apple).
• Upgradeability used to be somewhat of an issue. Version 7 looks to be handling this better than previous versions.

The work it does is exactly what we needed for the kind of business we're running. We're handling hotel blocks and commissionable sales, and it helps us remain organized with our records and recent activities. It also helps us keep track of our productivity everyday and keeps important files safe without the risk of being leaked.

A 10 would say I have nothing to wish for. A 9 means I haven't seen anything better.This tool really helps you in the whole creation and maintenace cycle, so from requirements to building/modeling to testing to deploying to capturing feedback.

Response times are quick and you will get updates regularly about the status of your request. Even with very technical questions they have specialists that can help you with your problems it will give you an answer or help you with a work around.

Mendix would be my preferred system all the way. The system is designed for these kinds of works. I've worked with WP and DNN but they should be used just for websites. To create an app for a business value, I would suggest Mendix. Also, the offline capabilities of Mendix have greatly improved since the deployment of Mendix 7.13.

• We started from GMV of 200k to 1M from January to April.
• From 1M GMV in April, to consistently achieving 2M and up in October.
• Other apps would be to pricey. I'd say it's worth the value for the work it does for our numbers!

• It helps to speed up application development because of its low code by the fact that it's low code. It allows professional developers to focus more on specialized application development rather than the more routine application development that business IT and super users can do for themselves with some coaching from the IT department. So it's just allowing the more specialist professional developers.net, for example, Java in our organization to focus on more complex engineering application developments.
