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

"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"The single most beneficial feature is the rapid development and prototyping of the product."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"I have been using this solution for customer authentication, as well as scientific applications, and it has performed brilliantly so far."
"The built-in security makes security-by-design from the start possible."
"Mendix has positively impacted my organization by being our primary building software and giving us a significant advantage over competitors who do not use a low-code platform."
"Mostly, the students are very excited about the product due to the fact that they can make applications without coding."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"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."
"In the next version I would like the Rest Service Module to be incorporated into Mendix, similar to the way web services work."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface."
"One thing I would like to improve is the support system offered by Mendix. It can sometimes take a while to get the help I need when I'm using Mendix."
"The initial setup is more complex. I've also noticed that people that have a first-time interaction with it find it more difficult to grasp."
"We have tried to contact commercial support by phone and email but they never responded to any of our attempts."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Mendix licensing cost is based on the number of apps you have on the server. At the basic level, it is free of charge, so that seems reasonable, but once you go beyond that, and when it comes to the number of users on the app, that basic structure doesn't work, and the pricing tends to get a little bit steep."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would not recommend the solution to small and medium-sized businesses because it’s expensive. It’s great for big organizations. I rate the pricing as a three out of ten."
