Good for omni-channel banking, but development ease should be improved
We sell solutions to companies, and I'm a part of the banking team Omni-channel banking is valuable. Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers. It is stable. It is scalable. Their support is average. It is neither good nor bad. I would rate them a three out of…

Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Omni-channel banking is valuable."
"Mendix stands out for its speed and efficiency, especially for standardized business applications, and its integration with Java and JavaScript allows extending functionality beyond typical low-code limitations."
"Mendix has positively impacted our organization as we can construct or build prototypes easily, allowing us to do this in a short amount of time."
"The low-code feature has helped my team and made my work easier because there are default templates, so we don't need to create or write code."
"You can scale the solution."
"Most valuable is the fact that the Mendix platform provides all the tools for creating and deploying business applications in one complete package."
"Everybody can learn it easily with available resources."
"We are able to service our customers in a way that differentiates us, making us more competitive and enabling us to expand our business."
"When I often want to pitch Mendix, if there is something out of the box that is not available, I can always extend Mendix. Whether it's the front end or the back end, It can be extended with Java. I've also built many widgets using Mendix."
 

Cons

"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"Reporting isn't Mendix' strong suite."
"When a mainframe system with a very large database and batch process was rebuilt in Mendix, we came across performance issues."
"Mendix is quite expensive, and its pricing model makes it inaccessible for startups. The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups."
"Occasionally, there is downtime if an upgrade is happening in the application."
"Mendix can be improved in that, while it is good at pricing, it lacks a small business budget project for startups wanting to build their portfolio."
"We need better reporting and visualisation as this is a critical part of each app and currently the reporting side has to rely on external BI tools."
"As far as I know, the licence is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an on-prem solution. It comes at a one-time cost, and then there is probably a yearly subscription."
"Initially, we started with a year for approximately $25,000, and if we need to expand the number of seats then we will increase it."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"There is a license required to use Mendix. The solution's price is high, but it is best suited for enterprise companies that have the budget. It is not for small or medium-sized businesses."
"From a commercial point of view, we would like them to change that they currently sell it as a platform, but as a customer you have to decide upfront the usage of the platform. We would like to have Mendix sell it as a pay as you go model: You pay for what you use, and you don't pay for what you don't use."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"Mendix is not open source, but its license cost is cheap, particularly when compared to the Appian license. The license model would depend on how many users you have and how many applications you are creating. If you are creating a single app, you just need to have a single app license, so it's free. If you want a multiple app license to cover two thousand or three thousand users, for example, internal users or external users, then you need to pay for the license. There's also a license model for above three thousand or four thousand, or five thousand internal and external users."
"Mendix seems a bit expensive. But in terms of wanting to have less developers and higher velocity, the total cost of ownership is fine. It's not cheap, though."
