Why Mendix enables me to do more with less
Overall Satisfaction with Mendix App Platform
Mendix is currently being used to develop and maintain our ERP. The application we built is currently being used by the whole organization to manage sales and companies (CRM), process orders, manage transportation and delivery of said orders, manage inventory, and finally generate invoices.
Pros
- The first obvious benefit of working with Mendix is the speed at which you are able to develop applications compared to traditional application development. The app deployment cycle is streamlined and exceptionally fast, which is a must-have for growing companies where the business rules are constantly changing.
- Along with the speed, comes the reduced man power required to develop an app and ultimately a reduced cost. Our ERP was developed by 2 people where normally it would have been done by a team of developers for a significantly larger cost to complete in the same timeline.
- Security is handled by Mendix if I choose to host on their servers which is a nice convenience. I have the ability to host my apps on my own servers but letting Mendix manage that is often preferred and less headache for me.
Cons
- The ecosystem needs growing. It would been nice to see more Mendix developers creating things on the app store.
- OutSystems Platform
We selected Mendix over the competition simply because it seems like Mendix is growing faster than the competitors. The functionality is largely the same, but the price and resources favors Mendix at least at the time I reviewed the industry landscape in 2015.
