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.

Discrete industry - it is well suited. The reports available are useful. Process industry - if you can make the PI sheet availability in pod as an extension it would be useful.

Pros
Siemens AG
  • 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.

Cons
Siemens AG
  • 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.

  • There are many gaps in reporting and insights. MDOs do not have the fields that we are looking for
  • No triggers to time based data collection by operators
  • No ability to track the status of data collections
  • No good way to use the back up resources

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.

The feedback from our end users has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating strong adoption and satisfaction with the solution. This demonstrates that the system meets most functional expectations and supports daily operations effectively. However, performance remains an area for improvement. Addressing this will further enhance user experience and ensure the solution scales efficiently for future growth.

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.

I have used and worked on SAP ME/MII. This product(SAP DM) is far better in every way than the older sibling - ME/MII. This is completely cloud based solution which removes the hinderances of procuring and managing an on-prem solution. And as this is a cloud based solution, it also enables a very smooth scalability of the deployment across various plants

Return on Investment
Siemens AG
  • 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.
