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.

Mendix - The Platform for success!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been working with the Mendix platform for 6 years now, and still find its easy to learn, hard to master developers user interface great. The built-in real-time model checking features are top notch, omnichannel development (develop functionality once, create a desktop/tablet/mobile app in a snap), ease of setting up integrations with other systems are great. The Mendix community, with its active developers and knowledge meetups is fantastic, anyone can learn almost an infinite amount of things in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
What could be improved upon is Mendix' document generation mechanism. It turns a graphical template into XSL-FO, which outputs PDFs, Docx, etc, but a simple change in the template requires an entire restart of your application. A 'generate preview document' button would be much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating business value for our customers. Helping them work better, faster, more efficient. Putting smiles on the faces of our end users and wowing them with fantastic looking apps, developed in days instead of weeks. Being able to change the application on the fly, stunning customers who have bad experiences with traditional development methods.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Complete development platform for both Business and Developers. Easy to learn, free to learn and use for the first time. Connects with any database and most other (legacy) systems. Active community with lots of developer support, new ways of creating functionality and a top-grade User Interface (Atlas UI) framework, which makes it easy to create beautiful, user friendly apps on the fly!
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
Mendix, for fast implementing and conitnuous improvement
What do you like best about the product?
With the easy to understand user interface that you can create with Mendix, you can easily discuss with end-users what they want to see in Mendix. Then the change is rapidly implemented which contributes greatly to the continuous improvement of your apps and your user satisfaction.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm missing the functionality to add security on a developer level. It would be nice to see developer security roles that lock certain module such that junior developers can be locked out of some modules or end-users can be allowed in the model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A great part our consultancy company works with Mendix and we've used it for several clients. The great power of Mendix is that it can be used for a great variety of business problems. We've used it to create guided questionnaires, but also to create an integration layer between all various kinds of services. So from a business perspective it is an easy to use tool. Also from a developer perspective it is a great tool. The way of modeling is easy to understand and proper documentation while modeling is also possible. There are great learning paths to follow for new developers as well. Projects can grow quite big very soon, however, in Mendix you can easily separate the modelling into modules, but also in microflows that preserve the readability for new developers that join the project after a few years. For myself, I'm working with Mendix for about 1.5 years and I already became an advanced developer. As I mentioned, it is an easy learning modeling tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start with a simple app for your own test purposes. After seeing how easy it is to use, you will be convinced.
Getting started
What do you like best about the product?
I am coming form a business (Accounting) background and could easily understand the coding logic. It really makes it simple to understand and to implement solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes some time understading what Mendix does and what is does not. you as a developer must know where to take over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Mendix we can rapidly deploy systems and therefore, minimizing time to market.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform
Rapid Development Tool that suits my needs
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility and fastness of the developing a new or existing app. The easy re-usability of created logic. The fast deployment to the cloud. The version control with multiple developers on the same project. I also like quickness in response when I have an issue with the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't use the web-modeler, why should I bother with an incomplete version of the software?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems that I am solving are mostly related to workflow processes. Most of my applications are replacements for old forms on either printed paper, word or excel.
Hyperfast development with out of the box components
What do you like best about the product?
I love the extensive possibilities that Mendix provides out of the box by the provided building blocks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like to use the webmodeller. It does not have all the options that the desktop modeler does have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating workflow applications in order to streamline the business processes via the Mendix applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can easily sign up to Mendix and try it out for free. You can create an application and deploy it in a free sandbox environment. This way you can get to know the software and find out whether it suits your needs!
RAD platform of my choice
What do you like best about the product?
The Mendix platform enables me to quickly and efficiently provide solutions to business requirements in an agile way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionality is still lacking. With some of the more complex issues you'll need to know about the 'quirks' of Mendix to work around them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The power of Mendix is not just faster development. But the fact that it enables a fully agile way of working together with the business. The Sprintr environment and the up and coming webmodeler functionality add ways of cooperation between the business and the developers. And the powerful desktop modeler enables me to quickly work through requirements and deploy them to the cloud of my choice.
Powerful development tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed of the whole system. With Mendix, you are able to deliver prototypes in a very short time.
I also like the integration of webservices like soap and rest.
Data modeling is well structured in Mendix.
Last but not least, I like the online tutorials, webinars, forum,...

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Ui development is not as intuitive as it seems at first sight. Especially if you are a backend developer that is not very familiar with frontend web development. Sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mendix is great to build a custom application that just fits the business needs. Instead of paying for standard software and changing your business to work with the software you build your application to work with/for your business. Also, the software is growing with your business and can be constantly changing to always fit your requirements. The users can (and should be) involved in the development process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try. The online tutorial is a great starting point.
Absolutely fantastic app development experience.
What do you like best about the product?
Abstraction Level: If you have coded in Java, an application or so then you'll realise everything mendix is doing in background but in an easier way.
The speed of development in Mendix is incredible. Apps compatibility for many devices. Overall AWESOME experience.

We use Mendix as a platform, to implement business applications solving our customer's problems.
