Unqork is generally stable with minor issues, high user satisfaction, but lacks community support for new users.
I recently encountered an issue with deploying applications on the Mendix sandbox, which took a week to resolve.
A component's previously set value might be missing the next day, affecting reliability.

Room For Improvement

Users seek better templates, UX/UI, integration, reporting, scalability, AI, and support, criticizing complexity and documentation.
Unqork needs enhancements in accessibility, cloud support, analytics, technical debt management, offline functionality, and user interface customization.
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.
Unqork's pricing is premium with per-user, per-month costs, perceived as costly compared to tools like UiPath.
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.

Featured Reviews

Sameer Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Low-code, helpful support, and great native mobile capability
There is always a layer of custom code required. There is a misconception of low-code, or Mendix, or the industry in general. They are perceived as more of a dashboarding tool, and as a visualization platform only, rather than building a complete enterprise solution. That's more of an awareness marketing challenge they have, or the industry has. In general, AI needs to be better. The team and the company is running ahead with this a bit more. AI area is something which companies have started to pick up on, low-code wise, and they should invest in it more. I would like to see their data hub module become a little bit more mature. They need to expand their base as the concept is amazing. We just need to see more use cases and learn more capabilities there, and then definitely they need to fill in the AI piece of it.
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.
