Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"You can scale the solution."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"What I found most valuable in Mendix is that it's very much suitable for mobile apps such as native Android or IOS supported mobile apps. The multiple features of the platform are very, very attractive and very popular. Mendix has technical features such as microflows and nanoflows. You can also access data models in the platform. These are the features that are very, very strong in Mendix. I got my hands dirty on other low-code platforms, but I have not seen such strong features in them compared to the microflows, nanoflows, and data model access that are in Mendix, including creating and integration. The platform has out-of-the-box adapters or out-of-the-box-connectors that you can integrate with different interface applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, etc."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"We find it intuitive and easy to use."
"The user experience is great."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"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."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"It is expensive."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
