Chose Mendix
they are good but Mendix is more of enterprise grade. Mendix has many modules available and ready plug ins
Chose Mendix
Because most of our apps work closely with our main system (ERP) and other tools, we went with Mendix. It's good at easily connecting with lots of different systems, which is exactly what we need. Another thing we like about it is that it can handle growth well, and its pricing …
Chose Mendix
Mendix is more comprehensive in functionality and easier to secure.
Chose Mendix
Most flexible and scalable platform
Chose Mendix
Although I have never worked with Outsystems, Mendix is seen as a platform that can be used more easily by people that do not have an IT background. Mendix is indeed a platform that makes it possible for people with a business background (and are IT minded) to create beautiful …
Chose Mendix
Mendix is more flexible and custom making oriented than Appian. OutSystems is almost the same as Mendix but more directed to the traditional developer, whereas Mendix is trying to make it possible for everyone to be able to model.
Chose Mendix
Powerapps is much harder to learn. It lacks the robustness of Mendix; if a detail is lacking in Powerapps the app won't run and it takes much time to debug.
Mendix is build to work for Scrum teams. I think Microsoft could learn a lot from the way working on one app by diverse …
Chose Mendix
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 …
Chose Mendix
Overall, these have a lot in common, but where Mendix really stands out, is its ability to integrate with multiple (previously existing) systems.
Chose Mendix
Mendix is based on model driven development and uses model interpretation in stead of code generation.
Chose Mendix
We got in touch with Mendix due to a project at a former company I and my companion worked. That company went bankrupt and we decided we could start our own software company with Mendix. We never really had the opportunity to compare it to others, because all other software …
Chose Mendix
You can create applications faster as compared to other products, You can code easily just by creating flow charts, instead of thousands of lines of code. You can manage databases from the domain model of Mendix, you can also manage webservices very easily with Mendix Modeler.
Chose Mendix
I have spent many month/years evaluating and discarding products. Some have cost me time (developers) and money to use the software. The development approach with Mendix means I don't have to pay for developer licenses and only pay when I have an approved solution ready for …

I think it's well suited if you have data available and you want to create customized solutions for different types of users. Mendix is very good at doing that. It allows you to do it very easily. So those are good use cases.

Built a application integrating an ERP without any need to code and the application build can be replicated without any additional effort for a different client. The pricing model is suitable for enterprise companies and the adoption is simpler. sterlo supports on-premise service as most No-Code platforms usually does not support on-premise. This helps a lot for enterprise companies to retain their data security.

Cons
  • 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.

Support Rating
I think their support system is really professional. They answer question quickly and accurately. They have a ticket system that allows to track the current status of a request. The only point for imporvement is a way for me to postpone an answer. Tickets get closed automatically after some time. I feel that the user should have the option to change to an on hold status, allowing for more time to respond to a ticket.
