Find out what your peers are saying about OutSystems, Mendix, Salesforce and others in Mobile Development Platforms."It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"It is stable."
"There is a free version of the solution you can use."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"The solution is stable."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"We also use Mendix Enterprise Integration for complex business logic. It's a low-code platform, so we run Mendix in the Mendix Cloud."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"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."
"It is 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."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement. If I compare apples to apples, the PWA features of Mendix could be improved, for example, I wouldn't recommend creating a B2C or B2B marketplace or web portals on Mendix, but there's a tendency for people to still do it through the systems provided by my company, particularly implement B2B or B2C marketplace, versus using eBay or Shopify. On the web portal front, Mendix still needs to improve."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
