Mendix Platform
Introduction
Mendix is a high-productivity app platform that enables you to build and
continuously improve mobile and web applications at scale. The Mendix
Platform is designed to accelerate enterprise app delivery across your entire
application development lifecycle, from ideation to deployment and operations.
Mendix is a Low Code platform built for both speed and control, that places
collaboration at the heart of the application development process. Mendix
provides an integrated, comprehensive set of tools and platform services for the
entire app lifecycle, from ideation and development, through deployment and
operation. According to the vendor, customers see the benefit of applications
that are created 10x faster with 70% fewer resources.
Mendix is recognized as a leader in two Gartner Magic Quadrants and two
Forrester Waves and has been selected by both IBM and SAP as the standard
for high-productivity development for their respective clouds. It is used by 3,400
organizations worldwide, across dozens of verticals. Mendix was acquired by
Siemens in August 2018.

Mendix Platform 1
Cons
Memory management
Flexibility to improve application performance through query optimization
Apply custom monitoring tool (only beta available)
Certain areas are outdated due to rapid growth
Limitations of the platform
Licenses can be quite expensive
Expensive licenses so inaccessible to smaller businesses
The documentation and user community could be stronger. With any other (well-
established) software, a quick Google of a problem will yield hundreds of results,
solutions, and blogs. That's not always the case with Mendix. This has improved,
however, in the few years, our organization has been using Mendix.
Styling pages, forms, etc., within Mendix, is a bit tedious. Without a solid
foundation in CSS, forget about making your app look anything like you would
want, aside from the out-of-the-box styling packages/templates Mendix offers.
The Helpdesk Support is sub-par. Often times a few days will pass and a "try
this... no no, try this. I meant try that..." idea(s) are thrown back. True
understanding and knowledge seem to lie with only a few individuals. Although,
this too has improved in the years of using the software.
The mobile app deployment system through PhoneGap is confusing. Native
themes are visually slightly outdated.
