Mendix does not support a dark theme, yet :-). Mendix has some trouble with handeling and generating reports and or documents. This however can be solved with integrations or custom widgets / modules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating business value for different customers. Being able to quickly make changes and push them to the cloud with only a few buttons. Mendix allows us to develop software in a fraction of the time that it would take for traditional methods to develop the same.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read/watch the tutorials, they are really good!
Perfect system to start creating low code apps
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is the ease of development combined with the speed of development. When an issue turns up, a first solution can usually be tested within the hour.
What do you dislike about the product?
The links with other systems can be improved in my opinion. Furthermore, the creation of page layouts is more difficult than it has to be. I hope that with the further development of the web modeler, this will also be picked up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultancy firm, we tackle the problems of our customers using mendix. These problems are mostly retail related.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The online learning community is very well designed. After following the rapid developer path, everyone can develop their own starting app. I would thus recommend starting here.
My Mendix review
What do you like best about the product?
Mendix is a tool that does not require deep knowledgde of programming at first, a good pair of brains will do. However when advancing there is more than meets the eye ranging from custom widgets, custom styling and custom code (Java). It is this mix I like most in Mendix.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think their mobile support is still limited. Currently however, Mendix is working hard to improve in this area of expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved business problems as diverse as document processing and building a cloud portal to give insight in personal future savings. I believe that modeling processes in Mendix enables our customers to gain insight. Additionally Mendix is the tool that provides our customer with a platform that allows for a rapid inclusion of new ideas into existing Mendix applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot and be amazed how quick you can build something.
Efficient platform for rapid creation of applications
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use; Capability and flexibility; Possibility of embedding custom code; Many components available out-of-the-box; Available trainings which will set you up working in a few days;
What do you dislike about the product?
No Windows mobile native apps; Requires customizations when dealing with more complex scenarios/requirements;
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Possibility of providing a quick solution to requirements handed over by customers. Ability to provide a working solution (with a lot of working features) within days and not weeks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ideal application which will enable you to provide a customer with an initial application for further enhancements. Perfect platform for working with PoCs after which you decide whether to go with the platform or build a custom software. Time invested in creation of the PoC applications is short (lets you create a working application with limited functionality within days and not weeks).
Rapid development platform
What do you like best about the product?
Low code development, the collaboration tools, the all-in-one (agile) development environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The current focus of Mendix seems to be on new features instead of software stability. The current release cycle is intoducing new versions on a regular basis, but these also include bugs quite regularly. Also on (very) large projects, the desktop modeler seems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling an organisation to change/develop software rapidly.
Idea -> Mockup -> App
What do you like best about the product?
Mendix is highly flexible and can be used to quickly get prototypes running. The available training videos and step by step tutorials help you to get started. Simple apps can be put together in a relatively short amount of time. When enough background information is provided, the active community is able to either solve problems or at least point towards the right direction. Due to the active community and direct feedback of ideas for future modeler releases, Mendix is able to react to popular developer needs rather quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, the release cycle also comes with the drawback of many versions.
Although the apps provided in the AppStore might be very useful, it can be tedious to get them running without prior knowledge. Especially for starters, a bit more documentation could speed up the setup.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mendix can solve a great variety of business problems. Customization is key - Mendix provides you with the tools you need. Mendix is supported and steadily developed and improved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a look at the tutorials on gettingstarted.mendixcloud.com
Rapid application development makes developing less tedious
What do you like best about the product?
I like how little effort is needed for seeing your first results. You can have a working application with a data view and some buttons within minutes - much less time-consuming than writing from scratch!
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the nature of a platform like this, the software sometimes pushes you in a certain direction. Sometimes I wish for more flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lower cost for developing, quicker stakeholder reviews
