Powerful modeling tool

I am very pleased with the ease of use. Mendix allows me to quickly and easily make a GUI for my applications running on the IBM Bluemix platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it cannot run on a Mac, forcing me to run a virtual machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for an easy method of producing a GUI that could call the IBM Bluemix services and applications I was running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it with IBM Bluemix for access to a wide range of services and APIs, including Watson Cognitive APIs

The mendix platform has been a major upgrade for our organization

  • November 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We first started looking into Mendix as a way for us to upgrade our legacy applications within our organization. We vetted out 3 different vendor platforms and decided to go with Mendix. We have found the tool to be very easy to use and has allowed us to increase our time to market greatly. Currently we have software development cycles of 2-3 years. With the mendix platform we were able to get our first product out within a year and we are onto our next 2 products and they should be completed in less than a year. Mendix has always been very good at working with our organization whether it has been for troubleshooting issues or enhancements to the platform. As it currently stands our first product has increased our production by 40% within the first 6 months and we expect the same type of growth with our future releases
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue we had when first using the platform was tied primarily around some of the UI and services components. After discussions with the Mendix team, and some of their own enhancements, we have found the platform continues to improve and provide us the flexibility and speed we look for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest issue was providing a flexible UI for our end users, a platform to allow the engineers to quickly develop and a way to upgrade our legacy applications. Currently we have seen a decrease of almost 50% in development time and an increase of 40% in productivity from our end users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to go through the introduction training course. I have dealt with several developers and they are concerned when first seeing the development platform since it is not what they are used to. Once they have some understanding from using the intro course (free online) they are able to better use the platform to its full capability. Also be sure to leverage their developer forum. There are many individuals on their that are experienced and willing to assist

Easy to start, very quickly becomes a powerful tool

What do you like best about the product?
Mendix really excels at getting you started, but allows you to really dive in shortly thereafter, even for someone without a development background. It's also nice to not have to worry about setting up a database, and the built-in debugging does a great job of leading you to the root cause, and telling you what must be fixed.

The community has also proven to be a huge boon, and answers to most issues are only a quick forum search or question away.
What do you dislike about the product?
OOTB, Mendix lacks some functionality, such as email integration and authentication, but this is mitigated by leveraging their great and growing appstore, and some custom Java.

The default UI/UX themes are workable, but a bit stale. Delivering a truly amazing experience requires some knowledge of CSS/SASS styling.

As well, you must carefully evaluate the value in updating projects to newer versions of the Modeler, as some functionality may break when doing so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are mostly replacing legacy business applications with Mendix-built solutions. The speed at which solutions can be delivered has proven to be a huge benefit, as well as the ease and speed of iterating on feedback from the business side of the development relationship.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Getting started is free, so you have nothing to lose in trying it out.

Extremely productive and positive

  • August 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Firstly the culture of the community around the platform. Secondly Mendix's innovative approach to the entire SDLC means that business requirements are developed with the least amount of waist in the process from the capturing of requirements within the functional system all the way to the one click cloud deploys. Lastly the pace of innovation the platform enables.
What do you dislike about the product?
The moddler that is used to develop the solution requires windows, while a web version is on the way it's not clear if that version will support the work flow logic capturing Microflows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many problems. From the business business perspective the biggest problem we are solving is the capability of reducing time to market. Functionally we're solving workflow and automation problems as well as data integration and consolidation problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are in the early stages of your business were you will need to release functionality to the market and then potentially pivot then there is no other technology that will enable that better than Mendix.

The ease with which you can learn to build apps and expand built-in functionality with Java.

New Modeler releases sometimes break existing functionality which has been around for years.
