Mendix vs. SAP IoT Application Enablement

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.

IoT Application Enablement is particularly useful when developing SAP UI5 applications that consume and use IoT data. There are many such examples in a number of business areas such as logistics, inventory management, process management, asset management, and others. IoT data is a key source of fuel for the intelligent enterprise.

• 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.

• Thing modeling is a particularly useful aspect of IoT Application Enablement.
• IoT Application Enablement supports a large number of IoT communication standards and protocols.
• It is quite easy to expose the Thing and IoT data as OData or other RESTful services

• 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.

• I believe SAP is currently combining IoT Application Enablement into SAP Leonardo IoT. It will be worth seeing what extra features are available then.

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.

While it is a good product, I feel like with SAP Leonardo IoT there will be a lack of support for this specific product. If it becomes part of the whole then this will be a much higher rating as their support is excellent. I'm just cautious while they combine several products into one. I have not used SAP Leonardo IoT yet.

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.

• 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.

• Being able to incorporate IoT data directly into web applications is quite valuable, both to our customers and to our business as well.
• IoT data has helped us take advantage of other intelligent technologies such as machine learning.
• Many of our clients are looking to integrate their devices into their workflows, and this technology is part of that solution.
