(1-2 of 2)Mendix Review
- 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.

Creation at the speed of ideas
At this point in time Mendix is selling our automated testing solution (ATS) and our application performance monitor and we are developing those tools further together with Mendix.
And we have a healthy professional services business around Mendix.
- Mendix takes care of everything from creation to delivery and support. A full loop. Not many people comprehend the impact of using a platform that covers model driven design, single click deployment, browser, tablet and mobile, scrum support, automated testing, monitoring and feedback loop.
- Mendix helps creating applications in all kinds of manners. From templates, an AppStore, standard integration points to demanding consistency with the error checker that with a double click brings you to the place of the error
- Mendix is open. That means you can extend the platform in all layers. For the client you can develop widgets and leverage the full potential of the browser or mobile device. On the server you can write java or use web services, rest services or even built in AppServices to design a Mendix component based ecosystem. The is also a model SDK to write tooling and automate anything you can model by hand.
- Mendix is easy to use. It uses visual models for data (domain models), logic (flows) and screens. Mendix has extended documentation, a very active community with a forum and a developer portal, a large set of blogs, video's to support new users, a training program.
- With creation and automated testing covered, I recommend them addressing documentation ease. They could design a hyperlink based system into versions of the model, so you could use a kind of CMS to manage business app documentation and present it in a structured way.
- The sprintr (agile/scrum) solution could be enhanced to better support assigning tasks to users and manage per user stuff like capacity
- With Mendix we can develop solutions at least 6 times faster. These are medium to large sized enterprise grade solutions that need good security, good performance, good testability.
- We developed tools to automate testing in Mendix and do performance monitoring in Mendix and that helped our business further
- You can leverage on consultants that do not have hard programming skills to be very good business consultants and use the Mendix modeler. This gets you closer to the customer and delivers great solutions. Off course you can arrange a specialist when needed, but most work can be done by what you call citizen developers

- Product Usability
The seamless deployment and full life cycle support from requirements, development, test, acceptance, production, feedback in a agile way is really helping us to deliver fast.
Last year the started with the idea forum where the community can vote on ideas. They implement the top ideas.
- Graphical flow charts for business flow functionality, for GUI flows, for event handlers, for anything that is a flow.
- Develop in the same platform for browser, mobile and tablet
- Consistency checks help me to refactor fast and often and hence iterate well in an agile manner
- Reporting is mostly done with additions from the AppStore. The integrated graphical reporting is too limited.
- PDF templating is also mostly done with additions from the AppStore. The integrated PDF templates lack a few often needs features like including dynamic graphs from reports.
