Mendix is the best solution for B2B applications of processing simple data that need to be built fast, that are built and maintained in environments that requirements change often, so applications that need to be maintainable and easy to change.
- Data management system.
- Front-end for any back-end.
- State machines.
- Flexible implementation and change.
- Fast development (minimal time-to-market).
- The platform supports the Scrum process.
- Better support of the dev team (more detail in the changes made by each developer)
- More reliable upgrading and merging of branches.
- For-loops would be nice.
- More "what you see is what you get" (commits to the DB, refresh of pages, showing and closing pages is usually happening at the end of a transaction, instead of the moment the developer has modeled it to happen).
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!
- Rapid application development
- Bridging the gap between IT and Business
- Overall integrator
- Mindfulness of performance
- Scalability in containers
- Development is thought of as very easy
Great application and I recommended. We were using Siebel Application and it was causing us a lot of problems, especially with user experience and design. It was so hard to add links or new files or widgets, but we now just use Mendix and all problems are solved easily.
- User experience
- Microflow
- Business check
- New bootstrap version

Quick, Easy, robust and fast.
Our organization uses Mendix as a pillar of development. We are a Mendix premium partner and focus on making Mendix the world's leading low-code platform. Mendix is used throughout the whole organization. We use Mendix to solve business specific problems and use it for Agile RAD development.
- Scalable
- Fast and flexible development
- No coding needed
- Secure
- Expensive
- SAP on premise v.s. SAP Cloud connectors
As a consultant at Bizzomate I primarily use Mendix as an advanced tool to help our customers to address their business needs. Currently I work on an app that aims to streamline document processing for my client. Within this organization Mendix is also used for several other use-cases, ranging from internal auditing to client dashboard applications.
- Rapid development; Mendix is low-code and this way offers a faster approach to software development.
- Easy to learn; Mendix can be learned by doing and is supported by good tutorials and a well supported community of developers.
- Keeping up with their own position; I believe Mendix does a good job trying to stay on top of the low code platforms.
- Mendix is becoming better in the mobile domain. There is still some work [needed] but they made great improvements since Mendix 7.
- Personally I think Mendix is somewhat expensive; I believe their pricing model could be improved for medium-sized enterprises.
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.

- Memory management
- Flexibility to improve application performance through query optimization
- Apply custom monitoring tool (only beta available)
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

Mendix review for version 4.4 to version 7.8
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.

Applying Mendix in logistics & supply chain
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.
- Citizen development
- Integrating lifecycle management
- Creating a global community
- Local modeling
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!

Mendix is great for Rapid Application Development with Business People for Business People
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
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.
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

A great rapid app development platform
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- Ease to build your application
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.
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: the best RAD platform currently available
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.

Model driven development done right
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.
As a partner of Mendix we build applications (rapidly) on the platform for several of our customers. Mendix enabled us to speed up our delivery time significantly and also helped us involving the business more with possibilities to make adjustments to the apps with just a few clicks and showing the results immediately to the persons sitting at your desk. As a consultant it's a great tool to work with, I can just focus on delivering functionality as fast as possible without being troubled with all kinds of set-ups, large amounts of coding for small functional entities and other stuff which slows you down on delivering. And the fun part is that through the speed of delivery you’re involved in lots of new opportunities and different kinds of functionality. Besides this, customers really appreciate the speed of delivering and are often surprised by this which makes it great to demo your results.
- Rapid delivery
- Ease of Use
- Collaboration
- Responsiveness
- With more and more options available it gets to easy to create performance problems
- Ease of use of output documents

A development environment that is a pleasure to use!
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.

- Prototyping
- Speed of conversion form Prototype to production ready
- Team development features
- Different versions can be confusing
- Understanding the reason for the Web Modeller
- Pricing is not obvious - Hope we wont be disappointed
Mendix is used by HR internally and used for financial and non-financial apps. Mobile business applications are developed to meet the needs of customers. This is done in sprints, delivering product functionality and improving the software each time, depending on business demands.
- Rapid Development
- Visually appealing
- Use custom themes and design quickly
- More cloud providers would be great
- Business restricts the use of new Mendix versions
- Some security settings have to be set manually

Mendix, streamlining agile development
Mendix is one of the main technologies we implement for clients in many different ways and sizes. From small applications replacing Excel sheets and other basic implementations to full blown migrations of existing software packages. We also use Mendix for clients to combine it with our partners DMM tool Avola Decisions, creating applications for straight-through-processing and dynamic case management.
- Mendix is a great tool to support agile scrum working. It allows client and developer to work closely together, quickly creating iterations of functionality to support the business case.
- Mendix is a motivating tool to work with for developers. Most of the tedious repetitive programming work is taken away, allowing developers to quickly put together functionality and only diving into code when it gets interesting.
- Mendix's visual domain models are extremely strong. It makes it easy to see what's happening and the benefits from a good domain model are always clear later on in the project.
- Mendix can be easily enriched both front-end and back-end by using the widget (Javascript) and Java actions framework.
- Mendix is only quick when the use case fits. It's possible to deviate from the Mendix way by enriching the software and customizing everything, but many of its upsides (clear, maintainable code and quick development) will then soon disappear.
- The fast development pace of Mendix sometimes means new versions have to be treated with caution. As existing functionality might no longer work as expected.
As a Mendix partner, we also use Mendix to support internal business processes. The first internal app we built with Mendix was a support portal in which our customers can register support calls and follow their progress. The second app we built was an expenses app that is available on both desktop and mobile. The big advantage to creating Mendix apps is that you can build exactly what you want. You don't need to change your business processes because your "standard" software cannot support them.
- There is an active community of Mendix developers/users who can provide answers to your questions in a very short timeframe.
- Very fast (RAD) and Model driven (MDD) development.
- LEGO-like building of your apps due to use of standard building blocks.
- Document templates compared to the rest of the model are very time consuming to create and maintain.
- The fast development pace of Mendix sometimes means new versions have to be treated with caution, they might contain (small) bugs in functionality that worked properly in earlier versions.
