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."It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."
"The tool is very flexible."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the integration and UI customization."
"You can scale the solution."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"It is expensive."
"An improvement I would like to see is the ability to version manage independent modules. Their version management for software repositories must be better. It's good and you can do it, but it needs work."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"Feature-wise and in terms of technical aspects, Mendix is excellent, but its pricing is steep."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
