I love the speed at which you can develop when using the Mendix platform. Because of the visual way of building logic in Mendix, it is very easy to collaborate with non-IT related roles from the business. This results in applications that really fit with the business and the future users of the application.What I also like is that back-end developement and styling go hand-in-hand when using the Mendix platform. Of course everyone has their own expertise, but front-end and back-end are no longer two worlds apart. Mendix has great tooling to set up a basic theme for your application based on your company colours in just a few minutes. So even when you're not a styling expert, your apps will look good.

Mendix has a lot of 'out-of-the-box' functionality, which in itself is great because in general increases the velocity of your app development. What I don't like about it is that the functionality is sometimes not flexible enough and in those situations it takes quite a lot of time to find a work-around.

The platform allows great colllaboration within the whole team. This enables quicker and smarter application delivery.
A developer can quickly show the business how different ideas can work and the users can see the progress all the time keeping them fully engaged and excited in the journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The document generation side and reporting could be a little more sophisticated.
For example, it would be great if the drill through reports allowed more functionality.
That said, using OData the data can easily be manipulated in many reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to work with modelling tool and very comprehensive webbased cloud platform.
Great compatibility with technologies (on prem, Mendix cloud, your own cloud of choice, docker).
Very fast to get to a minimum viable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mobile and offline still have it's limitations.
UI editor is a bit complex sometimes, and making the apps look really really sleek is a bit challenging, although the out of the box styling options are also very decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would be hard pressed to think of a sort of application that you would not be able to build using Mendix. Once you learn to think like Mendix; its world seems to open up to you. There is an endless and ever-growing library of extensions and plugins to help you basically do anything that you might want to. A vibrant user community is there for support, should you need it.

There is a steep learning curve; the fact that the platform has its own particular vernacular makes it nigh impossible for a self-starter to just open up the app and start without any form of guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility and fastness of the developing a new or existing app. The easy re-usability of created logic. The fast deployment to the cloud. The version control with multiple developers on the same project. I also like quickness in response when I have an issue with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't use the web-modeler, why should I bother with an incomplete version of the software? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mendix is accessable. Only after two weeks I can help clients with Mendix implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Cloud portal does not offer very detailed info about the server itself. Sometimes its now clear whats happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best is the way coding was made easier with the help of the GUI. The range of actions available make developing a business logic much quicker and very efficiently through microflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike is not the Modeler itself but the documentation available for it. Some of the functions that can be used in the Modeler are very poorly explained without any sufficient examples. I would definitely need some more information as to better understand and use the available functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like it because it is very easy to learn and you can manage to create medium complexity apps very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much that I do not like, I would prefer if we could have more performance and quality monitoring tools available as free modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From first setting up your project until having a running web application in the mendix cloud is a matter of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The 'no-coding' marketing bubble by Mendix suggesting you don't need developers anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quick and easy to create basic web applications. You can start creating your own web applications with the basic training Mendix provides. However you have the possibility to create powerful core process applications with a lot of integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Platform restrictions that are defined by design decisions, you are limited by what Mendix offers you. However you can go 'outside' the platform and create additional widgets but they are harder to maintain and this isn't helping the general overview of the application.
