Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
Bizagi boosts efficiency and ROI, with automation cutting costs, enhancing timelines, and prompting free-to-enterprise upgrade interest.
Sentiment score
6.6
Mendix's free version and automation enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and support growth, despite high license fees impacting returns.
It's not that they're really firing that personnel, but they can often focus on the core that really matters instead of repetitive processes in Excel forms and all of the overhead and human error that comes with that.
I see a fair return on investment using Mendix.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
Bizagi's customer service is knowledgeable but varies significantly in response time, improving with premium subscriptions and community resources.
Sentiment score
6.8
Mendix offers comprehensive resources and active community support but experiences mixed reviews on response times and portal improvements.
It is a community product, there is not much support we can expect.
The toolset is very intuitive, so we didn’t need to contact their support much.
I haven't often needed to seek direct support from Mendix teams as their online resources and knowledge database are comprehensive.
Mendix provides proper support, troubleshooting options, and a helping community.
If it's about having an issue that I can't solve despite being a Mendix expert and having tried every single bit and piece, support can feel like a stone wall.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Bizagi is scalable with proper resources, though scalability varies by deployment type, size, and user configurations.
Sentiment score
6.9
Mendix efficiently scales horizontally and vertically, offering flexible solutions for private cloud users despite some public cloud limitations.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
Mendix supports scaling well with its comprehensive online documentation and learning paths.
Mendix provides options for handling scalability and maintainability through features like validation, workflow and nanoflow minimization, and user components, enabling projects to be easily managed and scaled.
Also solutions processing data at scale, talking about one million packages a day.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Bizagi is praised for reliability and stability, with minor bugs occasionally surfacing but performance issues being minimal.
Sentiment score
7.3
Mendix is highly stable with minor performance issues, reliable architecture, effective support, and high user satisfaction post-Siemens investment.
Mendix has been stable in my experience, with reliable performance for enterprise applications and minimal downtime or critical issues.
I recently encountered an issue with deploying applications on the Mendix sandbox, which took a week to resolve.
 

Room For Improvement

Bizagi needs performance improvements, better cloud integration, intuitive design, and enhanced support, with high costs and limited Linux compatibility.
Users seek enhancements in Mendix's templates, integration, UX, databases, reporting, pricing, version control, AI, support, and customization.
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.
For more mature environments, the integration to live systems is lacking, which affects its applicability.
The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable.
Native development is not very strong, and some developer tools are missing, such as shortcuts to edit multiple variables.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Bizagi's pricing mixed, valuing flexibility yet desiring a mid-range option between free and enterprise.
Mendix is costly but efficient, suitable for large enterprises with budgets, yet less accessible to startups.
Bizagi's pricing is very aggressive, and it was one of the reasons we chose it.
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is reasonable;
 

Valuable Features

Bizagi offers a user-friendly, low-code platform with strong automation, integration capabilities, and BPMN 2.0 compliance, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Mendix offers rapid, low-code development with seamless integrations and agile support for secure, scalable enterprise and mobile applications.
It is open source.
The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand.
Bizagi has rich functionalities; compared to other BPMN tools, it has more features.
Mendix's integration capabilities are impressive, allowing for rapid and on-the-fly integration of almost anything imaginable.
The best features that Mendix offers are proper guardrails that prevent starting from scratch, ensuring a certain level of security, user experience, and standardization for implementing workflows, API integrations, and how you set up your domain model.
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.

Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
