You can simultaneously build applications for all kinds of devices (Desktop, Mobile and tablets).

Mendix comes with a full package out of the box = It is possible to integrate Mendix fully into a SCRUM lifecycle (modeler, sprintr, ATS, APM...)
IT and business are able to communicate better via Mendix, especially due to the Web modeler.,There are many developers who do not use the integrated sprintr of Mendix for bigger projects. Maybe it's worth finding out why exactly and improve the Mendix sprintr.,8,We have become a Mendix House, so we trust in Mendix.,noneJessica TruszczynskiA development environment that is a pleasure to use!2017-10-17T14:56:48.827ZMendix has been chosen as our strategic platform for cross application development.

So far I have participated in three projects for three separate customers. For all of them, we have been able to deliver beautiful and functioning apps in record times, reducing the time from idea to production ready application to just a few months.,Business-2-employee web based apps is where the true strength of Mendix is. Medium sized and large businesses that want to digitize some of their processes can do so with amazing development speed. The pricing model also encourages large companies to separate their workflow across multiple apps, keeping the apps small and easily maintainable.
Integration with other web services, especially SOAP based, but also other RESTful services, is extremely streamlined. Data structures and web service calls are auto-generated, and sending of files via different protocols is supported without any extra effort.
It enables developers and non-developers to quickly and easily build responsive apps.,The App Store is critical to meeting customer expectation, because it features hundreds of ready-to-use components. The problem is that some of the components are not-updated regularly by their owners, and since Mendix is not the owner, support for these components is hard to come by.
Offline mode has been a thing in Mendix for a few years now, and it has recently been improved to offer conflict management and other perks. However there are still unnecessary limitation to what an offline app is able to do.
The Desktop IDE (so called Modeler) is not open for citizen developers. I think Mendix has something to learn from Eclipse and Atom to name a few, where plugins built by citizen developers greatly expand the value of the IDEs.,10,Customers are frequently surprised by the speed with which an app can be built from scratch. This has allowed us to stay ahead of the competition and win-over important project.
Because Mendix provides a graphical user interface it enables product owners and business users to adapt and change the model on their own, without help from on site developers, which saves our developers time.
Since Mendix supports one-click deployment in its managed it has significantly reduced the effort and time for server setup and maintenance, packaging of software, deployment and configuration.,PostgreSQLVerified UserVery good product, seems simple but still needs training, discipline and effort for best results2016-12-20T00:07:56.382ZMendix is used to develop a core lending application for our company.

It seems very easy when Mendix people do it. It takes serious practice to achieve the same level. Better to have an expert to help while learning to be on your own.
Relatively small company, eager to help but sometimes too stretched.
Plan accordingly, implementation takes longer than anticipated especially on first projects.,8,Mobile applications for our client-facing account managers. Developers without specific mobile expertise were able to leverage native device functionality, fully responsive design and offline mobile using a model-driven development approach.Web-based forms for loan applications.Replacement of off the shelf applications with the added benefit of needed customization for our environment.,We used user stories extensively to define user requirements. Very specific scenarios were built for each user and implemented in an agile form with a duo concept - each story was developed by a mixed team (business-IT). This allowed us to avoid a potential conflict (business-IT) and deliver faster. Full pieces of functionality are delivered in sprints based on user stories.,.NET,Oracle PeopleSoft HCM, CA Service Desk Manager, ServiceNowVerified UserMendix: The way to buid apps!2018-02-08T20:10:03.510ZWe use Mendix as a platform to build and maintain applications for several clients.

We use it to rapidly develop Mode 2 Bi-modal consumer grade applications on desktop, tablet and mobile in various companies and industries. Due to the rapid development nature of Mendix, it shines where business requirements are unclear as you can develop ideas quickly and change direction when you realise your idea is not fit for purpose. The platform is built based on the Agile Software delivery model. The platform offers segregated areas for managing the Collaboration, Development, Deployment and Operational aspects of your project. This means that you don’t need to invest in other Agile platforms if your company has not done so already. You are good to go with your Agile projects from the get go. The development modeller integrates with the platform to make deployment just a few clicks away. Issue identification is easy as the feedback mechanism in the application enables users to show exactly where in the application the problem happens and under what circumstances.It compliments ERP solutions very well thanks to the ease of integration through direct database connections, REST and SOAP.
Mendix offers pre-built connectors for Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Cognitive Services, Predictive Analytics and others making the build of context sensitive smart apps a lot easier. It also allows you to connect to other systems through REST/SOAP or any third party database through the Database Connector.

Great innovation over the last few years that I have been using Mendix - meaning there are no worries related to vendor lock-in and Mendix keeps up its potential with every new release.,Customer support specifically related to resolving bugs in the platform can take considerable time (in some case more than a year). Communication about priorities leaves room for improvement.
My experience with release schedules related to new feature releases often get delayed.,9,Being able to deliver new functionality and resolving feedback in a timely fashion greatly improves customer satisfaction.Nick van WierenMendix- Ease to build your application2017-08-11T21:00:50.845ZWe are using Mendix for the development of client applications and also contributing to the Mendix forum by creating sample widget apps, custom widgets and answering questions in the forum.

It provided the winning team for the Mendix World Hackathon 2016 and of our consultants two are Mendix MVP.
Though having originated in the energy sector, our company currently has consultants working and experienced in working with Mendix in the finance, utilities, manufacturing industry and much more. The technology is used to complement big ERP systems, as well as to create entirely new applications: small, medium and big processes, across all channels (mobile, tablet and desktop).
Use cases include a user-centric application that predicts and allocates elevator maintenance resources based on live data from IoT sensors inside the elevators and an application that initiates, guides, controls and secures the entire Eurasia financial controlling process for all locations of an international manufacturing company, streamlining the process and creating actionable real-time management information.,Modeling instead of coding: instead of lines of code, create UML-like schedules and flows that a business can relate to.
Real-time model checking: In every step of the process, the platform checks if what you add or edit results in valid code, instantly giving you feedback (and suggestions) when this is not the case.
Visual debugging: easily step through models, with list of objects and variables available, to effectively pinpoint issues and correct them as you progress.,Better business model for small companies who want a single app.

End user and stakeholder involvement on an unprecedented level resulted in applications perfectly aligning with business needs, and high user acceptance ("You see this feature, I thought of that").,SlackWieke Bouten
