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.

Room For Improvement

Users seek better templates, UX/UI, integration, reporting, scalability, AI, and support, criticizing complexity and documentation.
Studio Creatio needs better mobile customization, UI control, business rule flexibility, accurate translations, technical documentation, and improved performance for large processes.
Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.
Native development is not very strong, and some developer tools are missing, such as shortcuts to edit multiple variables.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
 

Setup Cost

Mendix is pricier but reduces development time; ideal for large enterprises, region-specific pricing can be negotiated.
Studio Creatio offers a flexible and reasonably priced licensing model, costing $15 per user per month, rated 5-6 in affordability.
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;

Featured Reviews

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.
Anatolii Vovniuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards
The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.
