"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use.

"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."

Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
