Mendix is being used by our customers to excel in their digital transformation. Mendix creates applications in such a fast way that customers can really make the difference in their industry with it. It can be used for creating business logic and with the complete cloud picture that Mendix offers it really makes a difference!

- Bridging the gap between IT and Business
- Overall integrator
- Mindfulness of performance
- Scalability in containers
- Development is thought of as very easy
Mendix is suited in scenarios where there is a certain business logic that integrates with strong core systems that do, for example, calculations that need to be presented to users. Mendix is less appropriate as a service bus solution. Although Mendix integrates easily, I would always go for a case with business logic!

I would recommend Mendix for large organization issues and applications. It is very robust and scalable. It is made to deploy quickly so changes and expansions can be made every step of the way. I would not recommend Mendix for very small projects because the costs of usage would just be too high.

Mendix is the program for organizations that have an agile mindset, for organizations that believe that change is key for sustainable growth. Also Mendix is the development tool for organizations that want the business to be in control of IT instead of the other way around.
In the same vain I believe Mendix to be less appropriate for organizations that lack the above vision.

Review: "Mendix is an easy-to-use platform for rapid software development"
Team Lead
WebFlightComputer Software, 11-50 employees
In general, we apply Mendix when time-to-market for software development is short (for instance during product innovations) and requirements for flexibility are high.
If we develop web applications or mobile applications for consumer end-users, we often use Mendix as a backend that exposes APIs for websites or mobile applications.
Alternatively, when Mendix is used internally in companies, we use the Mendix front-end framework to build a web-based application.

- Speed of development
- Deployment options
- Technical support
- Memory management
- Flexibility to improve application performance through query optimization
- Apply custom monitoring tool (only beta available)
Appropriate to use as a Swiss army knife as it can build beautiful CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) applications within hours, but don't expect Mendix to perform well in specific niche setups. For instance, high throughput queues.
When application performance (high traffic and/or low latency) becomes very important, consider custom development or apply other services to handle the load, for instance, other AWS services.

User Review: "Mendix is Fast And Secure"
Mendix Developer
Omnix InternationalComputer Software, 1001-5000 employees
We use Mendix to solve client problems and help them innovate their business. Because of its versatility, it can be used to address any problem we encounter. Mendix is very business oriented. Mendix enables us to work closely with the business and rapidly build apps.
- Visual coding makes it easy to read code and work together with the business
- Fast application development and deployments
- Certain areas are outdated due to rapid growth
- Mobile app
We use Mendix for clients in different areas of expertise. Mendix is suited for them all. The quick adoption of new(er) technologies by the platform, or at least the ability to implement certain technologies, makes Mendix the go-to low-code platform. However, for smaller companies, a Mendix license can be a tad expensive. While working on a newer license structure, it is mainly focused on enterprise customers.

I consult Mendix to companies active in logistics and supply to create transparency in their value chains and digitize processes. The Mendix platform delivers instant value and is capable of supporting business processes on a global scale.

Mendix Review: "Great RAD tool and easy to learn!"
Mendix Business Engineer
CGI NederlandTransportation/Trucking/Railroad, 1001-5000 employees
We can develop applications really quick (couple of days) and our customers are always amazed by the speed with which we can show them new features in the application.
- Mendix is very easy to learn and free to try! The online learning paths are great and range from beginner to advanced. New learning paths are added frequently and the others are regularly maintained.
- Customising the desktop modeler works fine (placing toolbars where you want etc.) but there is no customizing the theme (yet). For instance, a dark theme would be a great addition!
Well suited for quick application development, especially in a innovative environment.

We use Mendix to solve client problems and help them innovate their business. Because of its versatility it can be used to address any problem we encounter. Mendix is very business oriented because of, a.o., its visual logic. This enables us to work closely with the business and rapidly build apps, try out innovative ideas and generate ROI.
- Visual coding makes it easy to read code and work together with the business
- Fast application development and deployments
- Business oriented
- No need for IT experience to get started (affinity is a must though)
- Limitations of the platform
Mobile, tablet or desktop apps. Multi-app landscapes.

- Provides a great user experience

"Mendix review for version 4.4 to version 7.8"
Jr. Software Developer
Tech MahindraInformation Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees
Mendix is used by a particular department which builds Mobile inventory management tool for KPN. Initially Mendix was a boon for development. The application was building at light speed. But as the scale of the application increased after Mendix 5.x the performance degraded.
- Using Mendix you can build an application in a week compared to building the same application in Java in 1 month.
- You can simultaneously build applications for all kinds of devices (Desktop, Mobile and tablets).
- All in one tool, in Mendix Modeler you can manage databases, webservices, Mendix code , Java code, etc.
- Tool is very rigid, it should be bit more flexible, by giving more control to the developer.
- As the scale of application increases, the performance decreases.
Mendix is well suited when:
1) Scale of application is small,
2) The time to deliver is less, like you need to build application rapidly.
3) You want to build applications for multiple environments like desktop, mobile and tablets; Mendix works very well in such cases, as using Mendix you can build applications for multiple environments simultaneously.
Mendix is less appropriate when:
1) You have more time and less money, in such cases you can use freely available technology to build application.
2) You need more flexibility in code, like if you want to modify each and every element of code.

Review: "Mendix is great for Rapid Application Development with Business People for Business People"
Business Engineer
Solvos B.V.Computer Software, 1-10 employees
Our company would not exist without Mendix. Mendix makes it possible for me (a consultant that graduated in Strategic Marketing) to build applications for businesses. Every single project we do is with Mendix and it allows me as a ''business person'' to connect with other users from the business and build the best possible application for them without using any parties in between. Business talks to business rather than business talks to IT talks to business.
- One click deployment
- Visual representation of data flows and database
- Easy mobile access
- 100% cloud based development
- Expensive licenses so inaccessible for smaller businesses
Mendix is great for building application and logic in areas where there is a lot of innovation and uncertainty (or rapidly changing environments). It is very easy to change and adjust things on the fly. It is great to do a ''Demo in a day'' business case, where a business can tell you about their problems and you show them a (mockup) solution within a few hours/days and can continue building from thereon.
Mendix is less suited for large, static trajectories for which there are already available products (WMS systems, CMS systems etc.)

Review: "Increased user adoption through Mendix Consumer grade RAD applications"
Scrum Master and Netweaver Consultant
EPI-USEComputer Software, 1001-5000 employees
We have been using the Mendix platform for delivering RAD applications for the last 3+ years. 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.
There are a large number of deployment options available - from on-premise, private cloud and public cloud options through its membership of the Cloud Foundry initiative.
- Speed of delivery
- Integrated platform
- Various deployment options (on-premise vs various cloud platforms)
- One click cloud deployments
- User story management may seem light for expert Agile users.
- Complex widget development compared to the rest of the low code application development cycle.
Mendix really shines when delivering Mode 2 in bimodal application development. This is where the requirements are unclear and change often. While it can be used for developing Mode 1 applications, this is not where its sweet spot is.

Mendix Review: "A great rapid app development platform"
Senior Developer
DLM FinanceFinancial Services, 11-50 employees
Mendix is used as our main application development platform to develop our trade manager product. The trade manager system is specifically built for fund managers in emerging and frontier markets.
- Rapid App Development - from thought/paper to MVP without lengthy development time required.
- 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.
Mendix is great for rapid app development including mobile. High volume data applications/large enterprise applications might be better off with other platforms/open source.

Java Developer
Tech Tammina LLCComputer Software, 51-200 employees
We 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. We have a Mendix department separately in our organization.
- It takes less time for the development.
- Ease in UI design.
- Security can be provided easily.
- Changes to the application can be done easily based on the client requirement.
- We need to customize it for applying additional features by writing our own custom widgets.
- At times it is bit complex when using the App store widgets.
Mendix is good, but when there is a need to customize a particular functionality it consumes time.

User Review: "Mendix House"
Customer Engagement Manager
MansystemsInformation Technology and Services, 51-200 employees
We are a reseller and a partner of Mendix and build Mendix applications for customers.
- Low-Code development = easier and much faster than coding
- 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.
Mendix is well suited for smaller projects with only a few sprints. Bigger projects that take longer than a year are not that appropriate.

Mendix Review: "Model driven development done right"
Mendix Consultant
TimeSeries, The Smart App companyInformation Technology and Services, 11-50 employees
As a Mendix partner, my employer employs multiple Mendix developers and is engaged in projects in a wide variety of industries. 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.
- Developer community size (and quality) keeping up with rising (international) Mendix adoption.
- Improve included Scrum environment (Sprintr) functionality to better manage work over multiple applications.
Best suited for replacing 'Shadow IT' and small to medium to medium sized processes. Less appropriate for replacing ERP systems ('Mode 1' in Bi-Model IT approach).

Mendix Review: "A development environment that is a pleasure to use!"

Business on Demand LtdComputer Software, 11-50 employees
Mendix has been chosen as our strategic platform for cross application development. We are SAP System Integrator and when we found that Mendix has been included within the SAP Cloud Platform we recognised that the product had to be right for us.
Added to this, the speed of development and the ease of deployment to multiple platforms (especially as a PaaS/SaaS product), was especially important to Business on Demand.
The ability to deploy mobile apps without replication or online data access across both major mobile platforms without deep technical knowledge of the developer tools is vital to us.

Verified User
Employee in Information Technology
Information Technology and Services Company, 51-200 employeesOur company uses Mendix to empower customers to digitilize their business model and innovate in the digital realm by providing new, unique and competitive features. 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.
If you are attempting to break new grounds and conquer emerging markets, Mendix gives you the ability to quickly test out your ideas before making a serious commitment. If the requirements are uncertain and they are constantly changing, Mendix empowers developers to react quickly and stay agile during the development process.

Mendix Review: "Very good product, seems simple but still needs training, discipline and effort for best results"
Verified User
Director in Information Technology
Banking Company, 1001-5000 employeesMendix is used to develop a core lending application for our company. It is also used in a bi-modal structure for small initiatives requiring fast development for quick business benefits realization. Using the same team of programmers it addresses a large spectrum of business problems from complex enterprise-wide to departmental niche solutions.
- Very flexible, made for bi-modal.
- Very good for digital business, can deliver application at the speed of business.
- Platform-as-a-service allows for simplified support, no delays, possibility to go straight to coding.
- Very good for mobile application development.
- Start small, get experience, ramp up to complex application.
- 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.
Very effective for getting apps to market very quickly but also for relatively complex enterprise-grade software using one developer.
Easy to explain to both IT and business users.
Very appropriate for bi-modal work.
It's not magic, it still takes proper analysis, training, and support.
Great for some mobile applications, still lacking in some areas such as offline support.

Review: "Mendix: the best RAD platform currently available"
Sr. Consultant (Service Management / Mendix)
MansystemsComputer Software, 51-200 employees
We have been using the Mendix platform as a basis of our own Service Management application and implemented the application at numerous customer sites. More and more we learned the capabilities of the platform and started using and promoting it for the developement of other customer applications, form small mobile apps to large fully integrated systems.
- Ease and speed of use.
- Standard building blocks.
- Large community of people that contribute to improving the platform and add ons.
- 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.
It is best suited in a multibrand/platform environment where it needs to support some sort of workflow, where speed of innovation is key.
I wouldn't select the Mendix platform for CMS implementations. I am in doubt for applications that are pretty static, because they don't make use of the full scale of capabilities of the platform.
