Mendix Reviews & Product Details

I have been working with Mendix for over five years, and it stands out as one of the most mature low-code platforms available. I love the balance Mendix provides between rapid development and enterprise-grade architecture. The visual development using microflows, domain models, and reusable components makes the process efficient. The cross-platform deployment and strong integration capabilities are fantastic, as well as the offline-first mobile applications. I appreciate the marketplace components that improve development productivity. Integrating AI capabilities into Mendix applications has been a highlight, enabling conversational assistants and intelligent automation. The strong community, along with market modules, aids tremendously, and the integration with external systems is easy, making development faster and solving challenges efficiently. I also enjoy the straightforward initial setup, which lets developers begin building applications quickly. Overall, Mendix is a great platform for teams aiming to deliver applications faster while maintaining governance and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some areas that could be improved include debugging visibility and version control handling, which can sometimes be less flexible compared to traditional development. Additionally, managing large applications and complex merges between developers could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, strong capability and flexibility, and the option to embed custom code. There are many components available out of the box, and the available trainings can get you set up and working in just a few days. Strong capabilities of integration with all enterprise-grade systems and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires a bit of customizations when dealing with exotic and complex scenarios or requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what i love most about mendix is this: even if you're not an expert in something, you can still build it thanks to the platform. For example, i am not a database specialist, yet i can design complex domain models, relationships, and data workflows with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

most of the trainings are heavily document-based. Yes, there are classes, but they are rarel opened and they progress very quickly. with so many experts avaliable, i dont understand why topic-based and case-based content- such as detailed youtube sessions - is not being produced.

It’s built to make software developers’ lives better. You can focus on the task and the business process instead of fighting with infrastructure code. As an architect, you still have all the same opportunities and solutions you’d have with classic coding processes while you develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Linux runtime environment support might be a bit outdated, but that feels like an edge case. There are plenty of other options available, so it’s not a major issue overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendix has great Citizen Developers capabilities, connectors, and example apps to build secure, AI-infused applications in an enterprise setting (security, guardrails, and compliance) with the possibility to scale the applications. I'm working with a few platforms, and Mendix stands out. Using Maia, the AI-assisted function, you can prompt the generation of artefacts you need in your App. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally, I don't like that there is no way to prevent someone from upgrading the app to a higher level and committing it. This can cause some inconvenience. We solved it by making good rules for that in the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Mendix is a wonderful and easy-to-use development tool, with significant flexibility for developers. It allows for relatively advanced technical customization and facilitates the creation of secure and functional applications. Its rights management is impressive: one can define access rights on a very fine scale automatically, which is truly an asset. The presentation of the domain model is also a central point, offering a visual map of the database that simplifies processing and allows for many things around this database. The microflows are also something I greatly appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mendix is not simple for anything related to custom interface. If you want to create custom UI, it is significantly more complicated. Mendix is also not a document manager. Creating and managing documents like Word, Excel, and others is not particularly easy. There are also many critical functions (such as retrieving the user during an SSO session) that are embedded in Java actions, which makes customizing these operations difficult. Another very negative point for me is the way Mendix uses git. It uses a git clone and not a checkout, which quickly makes development cumbersome. It had to be implemented on-premise, and from what I've heard, it wasn't an easy task. It is still problematic today because Mendix doesn't really allow for strict processes, and this causes issues with our pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a person with classic programming experience, I very much appreciate the Domain model feature. It takes off the hassle of setting up database, its tables and associations, writing long text queries. I also like the automatic rewrite of everything (for example when I change a name of a microflow, it changes everywhere its used). Since I'm not a frontend person, Mendix makes it much easier for me to create something in a few minutes that I can show to the client. Something thats made from already working and tested widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes sense that whenever there is a need for classic programming (let's say the client wants a very customized widget that doesn't exist on Marketplace) that the editor for that code (Code tab of Javascript and Java) isn't as detailed as in classic programming IDEs such as VSCode because classic coding is what we want to use as a last resort in low-code development. However additional work on this section would be much appreciated. For example the editor doesn't always show the mistakes one makes, there is not much color distinction between variables, functions and other parts of the code which can make it difficult to read. As Linux lover, it would also be great if Mendix had its adaptation for Linux as just running Windows can take a lot of machine resources compared to Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Mendix for its rapid application development which lets us deliver solutions faster than regular coding. It has a lot of functionality straight out of the box, allowing me to build nice back-ends and front-ends without much coding. The learning curve is also very low. Someone tech savy can get to professional level in less then a year.The initial setup was very easy, just running the exit, and that's it. I find Mendix very intuitive, which makes me very likely to recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think for larger teams, the source control is a bit lacking. There's a lot of git features missing. It's also annoying that I need to download a project for each branch. Reviewing code is also very difficult because changes don't show in the history. Only the files modified are listed. There are also some front end componenet missing. There are other tools like Unity game engine that provide more intuitive way to build UI (anchors and stretching), rather then containers and layout grids. Some bootstrap classes should also be avalable in the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Mendix for its end-to-end productivity and workflow process focus. It's great that it has governance and security built-in, which is crucial for enterprise apps. The integration capability is impressive too, meaning I don't have to start from scratch every time. Mendix also allows collaboration with businesses, and I appreciate the reusable components. It solves key problems for me, especially in terms of speed as I can deliver working apps fast and iterate quickly with business users. Its process automation capabilities are a big plus, allowing me to build workflow-heavy apps without coding everything from scratch. Mendix also meets our enterprise needs with its governance, security, and integration features, making solutions production-ready and maintainable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI flexibility is good, but truly custom UX can still require some workarounds. Licensing pricing clarity for certain enterprise scenarios could be simpler, and the AI features of the platform should really be improved if low-code can still remain faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that with Mendix, I can start developing an app really fast, and it makes creating features easier since there's no need to write a lot of code. I also appreciate the ability to reuse my deployments either in a new app or the same app on a different page. It's beneficial to me as a developer. Creating a team and sharing development projects with teammates is great, as they can support and contribute to my projects. I find Mendix's AI assistant, Maya, very useful because I don't have to search for things on the internet; I can just ask Maya for opinions and advice on developing features. It's valuable for me this way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it challenging that Mendix doesn't offer more support for the Turkey community. More localized support could make it easier for me to develop apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
