Room For Improvement

Users seek better templates, UX/UI, integration, reporting, scalability, AI, and support, criticizing complexity and documentation.
Unqork users seek improved UI, mobile support, learning resources, platform interoperability, and enhanced grid, analytics, and collaboration features.
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
It is not one hundred percent stable.
Unqork moved from the Sanctuary to Vega platform without providing a migration tool, necessitating manual updates.
The setup for API calls was initially challenging, especially when dealing with service logs and transforming large JSON codes for validation and PDF generation.
It would be beneficial if they further improved compatibility with both the previous Sencha compiler and the new Vega compiler.
 

Setup Cost

Mendix is pricier but reduces development time; ideal for large enterprises, region-specific pricing can be negotiated.
Enterprise users have mixed opinions on Unqork's cost-effectiveness, with pricing variably perceived as affordable or expensive compared to competitors.
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.
The certification costs are particularly high, around 16,000 Indian Rupees.
The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath.
In my experience, it seemed somewhat underpriced, possibly due to being an early adopter.

Cloud-based, helps fill gaps and that seamlessly integrates with existing systems
Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software. It integrates seamlessly with my existing ERP systems, enabling me to build attractive and user-specific solutions. Its cloud-based platform supports agile methods and enhances my development speed. These features enable me to better meet my organizational needs.
Rajeev Lochan - PeerSpot reviewer
Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.
