We performed a comparison between Mendix and OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"Enables us to rapidly create a complex application. We are also able to customize features that stakeholders in the corporation want to see, something that could not be done with other software. Our workflows and processes have evolved and improved. The fast iterations allow us to be nimble, get feedback from users, and do rapid updates."
"You can scale the solution."
"The user experience is great."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"I love to automate everything and OpenShift was been born for that. It takes care of the network layer itself and I don't need to dive into it; I can work on a top level. Our project has numerous services designed to run in Docker containers, and we have run almost all pieces in OpenShift."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"It is a stable platform."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"There's no direct tech support."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
