Overall Satisfaction with Mendix

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Mendix across our organization to help customers in their business needs. With the use of Mendix it is possible to make (web) applications in a short time window. Mendix is a low coding platform, a term that is very popular these days. It is possible for anyone, even if they don't have an IT-background, to make apps for your customers. Of course, for the hardcore developers, there are challenges. The good thing about Mendix is that you don't have to keep your customers waiting for a year of development. In a matter of days, you can show your app to your customers!

Pros and Cons

Pros

Low code, easy to use platform for anyone who wants to build apps.
Active community with people sharing Mendix functionalities, posting new ideas and sharing cool widgets that you can integrate with your Mendix application.
Quickly deliver applications to continue your business.
Integration with a lot of different services.

Cons

A lot of functionalities are not integrated with Mendix, the custom build is the only option (with exception of widgets and modules from the app store).
There are no easy incremental updates of the Mendix platform. Upgrading to newer versions can go wrong on your build application.
Licensing costs can be steep for smaller businesses.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mendix is well suited for translating new business ideas to applications that you can integrate into your business. Building applications is a short time is a huge cost-saver for customers. You don't need high-priced developers to build applications that suit your business needs. Mendix is less appropriate for building native apps on iOS and Android. You need different software for that matter.
