We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Mendix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"It integrates well."
"It has helped reduce the cost by rationing the computing power and paying only on a per usage basis, instead of provisioning unneeded, idle, or unutilized computing power that is used only at 20% of its capacity or time."
"I like the flexibility of this solution."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that they offer everything around in just one platform."
"The documentation is very good."
"The ecosystem offered by the product has almost everything."
"The user experience is great."
"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."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"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."
"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."
"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 features that I have found most valuable with Mendix are its business process management and its minimal low code, both from an interface perspective and from a process perspective."
"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 billing should be more competitive."
"The solution could always be further improved on the commercial side of things. Amazon Web Services are not cheap. It would be ideal if it was less expensive for the customer."
"The customization could be improved."
"Some services which were easy to use through shortcuts are now more complicated to use."
"Scaling is an area that can be improved."
"There is no control of downtime."
"In a future release, I would like to see more support for AI because it is the future."
"The customization could improve. However, it depends on the customization needed."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"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."
"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."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"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."
"While the community is great, they need to work on making their direct technical support services better."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
