We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Mendix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."We have seen an improvement in our infrastructure, as the code makes it very easy to deploy quickly to AWS."
"AWS is stable."
"They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company."
"Cloud Trail API log storage."
"The most valuable features of Amazon AWS are the high level of capabilities, cloud-native environment, developer-friendly, intuitive interface, and automation. The solution overall is easy to learn from the resources available."
"Amazon for DevOps is fantastic. Amazon has fast clouds, and the process and the Dev is very good."
"It is intuitive, easy to deploy, and rather quick to deploy and set up. There are a number of native services in the ecosystem. These services are built into the cloud and are mature enough to support you in many ways."
"The most important feature is deploying our production in multi-data regions around the world."
"It is stable."
"The integrated security saves a lot of time, especially when it comes to setting up user-roles and security. Also, database updates work automatically. There is no need to write queries to update the database, once you make an update."
"The most valuable features are the decorative style, model-driven development, and the fact that Mendix validates flows. Mendix is quick to develop because it's a low-code platform. It's very robust, flexible, open, and scalable. It's for a low-code customer. The tooling is also really good and it has mobile capabilities."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"Mendix code and coding logic are very visual. It looks like a flow chart rather than lines of code. Rapid development is what drew us to Mendix."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"One area that could be improved is in data management. They could improve on the data side. For example, I see others with better cloud services and larger data computing capabilities."
"Our use case is limited to virtual services and RPA development. We are not using it quite heavily, and there are not many issues or problems so far. However, it would be great if it could be integrated with more AI features and proactive monitoring. It could also have more automatic capacity expansion features. For example, when renting out some space, memory, or computing power, the service can have the capacity to expand by itself without being manually handled by us."
"Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back."
"The setup of the solution is not so easy, it requires various skills to complete it. The whole implementation can take a month."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"The technical support package for free trial users should be built on and improved."
"The overall convenience and the ease to use could be improved."
"I generally don't like the user experience of Amazon. It's not the best."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"I would like to see more documentation as well as how-to documents."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
