We performed a comparison between Mendix and Pega BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 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 are the integration and UI customization."
"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."
"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."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Scalable and stable BPM software with a powerful case management feature. It also has good workflow."
"The case management is great."
"Pega is a local platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective. This allows teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Pega BPM's most valuable feature is the use of CDX to solve problems."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"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."
"UI needs improvement."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
"I believe they simplify the application development. It is still complex. The learning is not easy, it takes time compared to other products on the market."
"There have been some performance scalability issues. Suppose you want to add more users. You go from, say, 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation. To fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues."
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
