Mendix Platform

My main use case for Mendix  is to create smart applications in a fast way, applications that have integrations, use of AI, custom widgets, and so on. A quick, specific example of an application I've built with Mendix  is an application with video calls, which stands out for me, and it's an application that I am really proud about. In this application, we have like two people talking in a video call and then the agent on the other side can take pictures from the user's phone, because the user's used his or her phone to join the call via a Mendix application, and then they talk to each other with a video call, pictures, drawing pictures, that kind of stuff.

The best features Mendix offers are easy deployment, fast application creation, easy to build logic, and lots of marketplace modules and components to use in your applications, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. If you need to eventually customize code, you can do it by using JavaScript and Java, which just make things faster.

Mendix has positively impacted my organization, especially for clients, who are getting lots of benefits, particularly speeding up changes, because they eventually need to change business rules, or they need to change how their business works. Mendix makes sure that happens fast, and about the video call application I created, they now speed up their customer service by having that video call feature, meaning they don't really need to send engineers physically to the client's location to see what's going on. All they need to do is do a video call, take a few pictures remotely, and that's it. No need to drive, no need to spend fuel, money with the engineers' location relocation; saving money is the most valuable thing.

After implementing Mendix, they reduced by 98% the engineers' relocation, as 98% of the cases are now being done by video calls instead of in-person appointments, which says a lot, even though the company didn't provide any numbers on how much is saved.

It would be great for AI in Mendix to read my whole project and understand the whole business, so all I need to do is ask, hey, what does this button do, and why is that button there? AI could answer me why we have that button, and what that button does. I know that this is something in progress by Mendix; eventually, we will get that feature, but this is something that we definitely need because new developers that join a project might struggle to understand the whole business, especially in complex applications. I chose eight instead of a higher or lower number because Mendix would be a 10 if we have the feature that I just mentioned, like asking why that button is there and getting a clear answer about its business purpose. It would also be a 10 if we have a faster Studio Pro, like not taking too much time to process things, especially when projects are too large; those two aspects would make it a 10 for me.

I have been using Mendix for the last eight years.

Mendix is stable.

You can scale Mendix using a private cloud, but if you want to scale it to a bigger instance, you have to contact a Mendix partner or the same Mendix partner that sold you the license.

Customer support for Mendix is very good; we open a ticket, and they answer, of course depending on your plan, but it's very useful. I would rate customer support a nine.

Before Mendix, I used to be a high-code developer, so I didn't really use a platform or solution; I coded with React, Node.js, MongoDB, which aren't actually platforms but open-source solutions.

In the project that I'm working with, we are using the Mendix Cloud and with just a few clicks, we can deploy the application acceptance or production, which has made my work easier and more efficient because I don't really need to understand how DevOps works. I don't need to understand Kubernetes  or Docker . All I need to do is to build my app and deploy it by just doing a few clicks. About the speed of development of app creation, I think it's just a matter of open Studio Pro, create the app, do all the pages logic we need, and then push to the point. So that's pretty much it.

My company has a business relationship with Mendix as a partner, specifically an official partner.

Not much about pricing, as it's something that you have to reach a Mendix vendor to see what the possibilities are. From the pricing shown on the Mendix webpage, we have a basic package where you pay 60 Euros a month for five users and 10 Euros per additional user. This is all I know about pricing, but for a different size of Mendix Cloud, you have to consult an official Mendix vendor or partner.

I evaluated OutSystems  before choosing Mendix.

Right now, I'm working with AI, which is pretty new to me, but I'm learning a lot and Mendix makes sure we can use AI in a very smart and fast way by using the platform. My advice for others looking into using Mendix is to start with the basics; don't get rushed. Things will come up eventually and always ask for help. There are forums and lots of communities; you're not alone. It's a great platform to learn a lot and make a lot of money with it, so keep it going. The review rating for Mendix is 8.

My main use case with Mendix  is building enterprise applications that automate and standardize business processes, with a focus on speed, reliability, and secure delivery.

I built an internal management app using Mendix  where employees could register tasks, track approvals, and generate status reports.

Besides workflow and task management apps, I've also used Mendix for reporting dashboards and process automation tools.

The best features Mendix offers in my experience are fast development speed and strong security for enterprise apps.

The development speed of Mendix stands out mainly because of the visual modeling tools and reusable components, which reduce repetitive work and accelerate delivery. For security, I value the built-in authentication, role-based access control, and data protection features, which make enterprise apps safer without needing heavy custom setup.

I'd highlight Mendix's integration options, which make it easy to connect with APIs and external systems. Also, the mobile capabilities are helpful for quick cross-platform delivery, even though native customization has some limits.

Mendix has sped up delivery for my clients, especially for repetitive or standardized business processes. It also improved reliability and security, reduced manual errors, and enabled faster deployment of internal tools and dashboards.

On a recent project, using Mendix cut development time by about 40-50% compared to traditional coding for a workflow app.

Mendix could improve in customization and UI, UX flexibility, native mobile development, and agile tooling for developers.

I've noticed that longer processes can be hard to read and maintain, and some UI, UX adjustments are restrictive.

I have been using Mendix for four months.

Mendix has been stable in my experience, with reliable performance for enterprise applications and minimal downtime or critical issues.

Mendix scales well for enterprise applications.

I have interacted with Mendix support when I needed help.

I previously used traditional coding with JavaScript and Java for enterprise apps. I switched to Mendix for faster development, standardized processes, and easier integration in business applications.

I see a fair return on investment using Mendix.

I believe it's an average return. It's worth it for the agility and the patricity, but nothing that's very different from any other low-code platform, in my opinion.

I evaluated OutSystems  and Microsoft Power Apps  before choosing Mendix, mainly comparing speed, integration capabilities, and suitability for enterprise applications.

I would advise others to use Mendix for standardized business applications where speed and security are priorities, but be aware of its limitations in UI/UX customization and native development.

Mendix is excellent for rapid, secure enterprise app development, but improving UI/UX flexibility, native integration, and developer tooling would make it even stronger.

My overall rating for Mendix is 5 out of 10.
