Mendix Platform

1 - The environment allows us to create complex applications in a much shorter time compared to traditional coding. whatever the idea we have in our mind , with that we can create an application in much faster way. 2 - Even people without much coding experience can perform well and create a big impact in making the app development success with 100% accuracy. The drag-and-drop features along with ready-made templates is so much useful and it's easy to use, while still giving experienced developers the flexibility to make custom changes and add new features. 3 - Mendix does more than just help build apps, It covers everything from development to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance which is a great help for the team who is starting with fresh mavericks and few seniors.

The easiness of deployment pipelines through environments and apps.

I recently completed the Mendix Rapid Developer training, and I was impressed by how quickly I was able to build functional web applications without writing any code. Another highlight is the abundance of self-learning resources provided by Mendix / Siemens. The documentation, forums and learning paths are comprehensive and easy to follow, which empowers users to progress independently and at their own pace.

1 - While the basic tools are simple to learn, but more complex features and custom setups takes a lot of time and energy. 2 - As we grow and add more users or environments, the cost of licenses can become large, especially for smaller teams. It's a strong platform, but you need to plan your growth carefully to avoid over burden in terms of money. 3 - Although Mendix is very flexible, there are times when creating very specific or detailed custom designs requires extra effort.

Over the years updates seem less consistent. e.g. seems like fundamental stuff sometimes breaks within the modeler. Also the modelers became very unstable crashing multiple times per day with heavy use.

The licensing model is a little complex, especially whe trying to align it with different project sizes. It's challenging to determine the most cost-effective and scalable option during the selection phase I have not had a chance yet to test the deployment process for iOS. While Mendix handles web app deployment very effectively, the steps for publishing to Apple platforms still require further exploration on my side, and I will need to invest more time to complete that part of the process.
