Mendix functions as a Rapid Application Development/Low-Code Development Platform within our organization, primarily addressing our Web and Mobile App development needs. The platform has been instrumental in creating various applications, including digitizing the time capture process for plant employees, streamlining the workflow for our Request for Payment process, and facilitating other Supplier integration scenarios.
  • Low-Code Development
  • Citizen Developer
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Offline Capabilities
  • Mobile app development
  • Code Extension
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.

We're using Mendix Optimize My Plant application to help provide our customers' users in the shop access to plant simulation resources and data and to be able to tailor experiences to each different individual user type within our customer's organization.
  • 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.
  • I think there always could be easier ways to build apps with Mendix, and I think they tend to be doing a very good job. I haven't seen the new Mendix 10 yet, but I've heard some about it and they've implemented a lot of improvements, AI features, and other things. So we look forward to using those features as we get more experience with Mendix 10.
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.

  • Integrate with enterprise core applications
  • Make developers more effective
  • Takes advantage of pre-built blocks
  • Better integration with hyperscalers such AWS, MS Azure, GCO

We are just at the start of our Mendix Journey. We have commissioned an app to show top level plant kpis to quarry owners of our machinery globally.
  • Easy to log in for non IT users
  • Quick versatile build
  • Easy to use app
  • Ensure Bio metrics can we easily set up and used
  • Not sure what the training is like yet, hopefully this will assist non IT users to build apps easily once set up
Due to the cost per application, the only there needs to be clear ROI for the Application per year. We implemented PowerBI and now have over 160 dashboard, Mendix has the ability to be the same if it wasn't for the cost per application. Maybe larger organisations can make this make sense easier, but for smaller SME's, this could be restrictive.

Mendix is being used as our enterprise web platform for several customer facing portals. These applications solve a number of business needs, including: prescription engine, reporting tool, order interface, program enrollment, and much more. These applications are heavily integrated with our CRM, Salesforce.com.
  • Development is Mendix is generally quick going. The time from whiteboard to deployed application can be a matter of days. The business side loves this and allows for continuous enhancements and modifications.
  • We heavily use the feedback loop built within the application. This is used for our internal QA processes as well as for customers to submit ideas, bugs, etc. This has become a valuable asset to our team.
  • The business logic capabilities are quite comprehensive and allows going back to review "code" relatively painless
  • The documentation and user community could be stronger. With any other (well established) software, a quick Google of a problem will yield hundreds of results, solutions, blogs. That's not always the case with Mendix. This has improved, however, in the few years our organization has been using Mendix.
  • Styling pages, forms, etc., within Mendix is a bit tedious. Without a solid foundation of css, forget about making your app look anything like you would want, aside from the out-of-the-box styling packages/templates Mendix offers.
  • The Helpdesk Support is sub-par. Often times a few days will pass and a "try this... no no, try this. I meant try that..." idea(s) are thrown back. The true understanding and knowledge seems to lie with only a few individuals. Although, this too has improved in the years of using the software.
Mendix is well suited for companies looking for custom applications that can be developed at a rapid rate and that require constant changes and modifications. We've also had great success integrating it with our CRM, Salesforce. On the other hand, a smaller company looking for an application with standard function may be more suited looking for an off the shelf solution. Also, the learning curve for a non-developer to learn Mendix is quite large, despite the claims. A better training program and/or an online learning center would be extremely useful.

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).

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.
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.

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
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.

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.

We use Mendix as a platform to build and maintain applications for several clients. Because Mendix is a RAD platform it's possible to build apps in a very short time period and solve business problems quickly.
  • Fast development (Short time-to-market)
  • Scalability
  • Large Appstore
  • Easy to integrate with other systems
  • The Mendix Sprintr environment has room for improvement
  • Licenses can be quite expensive
Situations in which Mendix is well suited:
- Continuous improvement/development
- Short time to market
- Multi-platform (desktop - mobile)
- When scope is not completely clear yet

Less suited:
- High volume data apps
- Rebuild existing packaged software

Our 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 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.

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
Any development either connected to a master data system (such as SAP) or standalone

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.

  • Ease in UI design.
  • Security can be provided easily.
  • Changes to the application can be done easily based on the client requirement.

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.

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).

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
Either if you want to create simple functionality in between other applications or want to create a larger application with lots of functioanlity, it works both ways.

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
If you want to develop on top of SAP or other IT ecosystems, you can use Mendix. Integration with Microsoft does not go that well, better to use Mendix and not Azure.

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.
Mendix is well suited for businesses that need custom applications where they maintain control and can make changes/additions on the fly. On the other hand, a smaller company looking for an application with standard function may be more suited looking for an off the shelf solution.
The learning curve is steep, but most things worth working hard for have a having take work and have a learning curve. The fact that we are in control of the creative side of modelling and that we can edit/change those parts of the app we are not satisfied with are, amongst others, the things I like alot.
