The relative speed and ease of creating applications without extensive programming knowledge is a great plus. It's easy to learn but hard to master. It's a great tool for easy integrations to other systems and ideal for agile/devops development. It's great for developing re usable components and thus delivering business value asap.

There are a lot of different versions that require a lot of keeping up with the latest releases. The sprinter is not ideal for bigger projects as it doesn't have a lot of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mendix is highly flexible and can be used to quickly get prototypes running. The available training videos and step by step tutorials help you to get started. Simple apps can be put together in a relatively short amount of time. When enough background information is provided, the active community is able to either solve problems or at least point towards the right direction. Due to the active community and direct feedback of ideas for future modeler releases, Mendix is able to react to popular developer needs rather quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, the release cycle also comes with the drawback of many versions.
Although the apps provided in the AppStore might be very useful, it can be tedious to get them running without prior knowledge. Especially for starters, a bit more documentation could speed up the setup.

I've been working with the Mendix platform for 6 years now, and still find its easy to learn, hard to master developers user interface great. The built-in real-time model checking features are top notch, omnichannel development (develop functionality once, create a desktop/tablet/mobile app in a snap), ease of setting up integrations with other systems are great. The Mendix community, with its active developers and knowledge meetups is fantastic, anyone can learn almost an infinite amount of things in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What could be improved upon is Mendix' document generation mechanism. It turns a graphical template into XSL-FO, which outputs PDFs, Docx, etc, but a simple change in the template requires an entire restart of your application. A 'generate preview document' button would be much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With the easy to understand user interface that you can create with Mendix, you can easily discuss with end-users what they want to see in Mendix. Then the change is rapidly implemented which contributes greatly to the continuous improvement of your apps and your user satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm missing the functionality to add security on a developer level. It would be nice to see developer security roles that lock certain module such that junior developers can be locked out of some modules or end-users can be allowed in the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the speed of the whole system. With Mendix, you are able to deliver prototypes in a very short time.
I also like the integration of webservices like soap and rest.
Data modeling is well structured in Mendix.
Last but not least, I like the online tutorials, webinars, forum,... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes, Ui development is not as intuitive as it seems at first sight. Especially if you are a backend developer that is not very familiar with frontend web development. Sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the visual way of modeling. I don't have a technical background from my education. If you understand the business and do have affinity with modeling the Mendix platform will suit you like a glove. It is awesome to have the support of the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Updating from really old versions, going from a old version 5 to the latest version 7 is a pain. The mendix documentation however will be able to help and there is always the community to support you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The beste abiltiy of Mendix is to be able to create application in such a short notice. Development of applications is therefore radically changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't dislike much, a point for improvement might be the use of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mendix is a brand-new world. The low code concept must be the trend. I used Blue Prism before so I can easily catch these similar ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The web modeler can't do some complicate activities so I had to switch to desktop modelers. But sometimes the web modeler is much easier to do some UI work.
It was slow and not easy to make sure both modelers sync very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
