Overall Satisfaction with Mendix
- We are using Mendix to build our Research Animal Health Survey and Reporting application.
- The application will enable use of Android tablets in the field and include barcode data capture capabilities.
- A browser based GUI will be used for processing and reporting health case follow-up after submission.
- Application has data integration points with existing facility management software.
- Modeler and Hosting environment are well built and intuitive to use
- Agile and Scum project management
- Extensive widget library
- Improve Professional Services delivery
- Improve Project Management collaboration with clients
- Medical Research Support application
- Regulatory Compliance support app
- Internal business process application
Allowed business users to participate in the project definition at inception and also aides with subsequent UAT efforts.
Mendix was sold on:
- Increased speed of development by following Agile/Scrum development practices.
- Low code paradigm and a low-cost dev environment.
However, the abstraction layer that the Mendix development platform provides can also be a distraction from fully documenting a given project.
