Tool Features
User interface
Mendix allows citizen developers to create rich UI using a drag-and-drop interface with dozens of pre-made elements and components. More experienced developers use the JS-based Mendix Studio Pro.
Use Cases
With Mendix, you can create many different applications and connect them to other systems, databases, AI, machine learning, and IoT sensors. The platform enables businesses to create flexible and performant client-side or internal applications.
Customization
The platform’s customization capacity is centered around the Mendix Studio Pro editor. You can enter custom JS code, including JavaScript-based libraries (React, Angular, Dojo, or D3), to create new UI components, app business logic, and connectors. The editor is embedded with multiple developer tools that accelerate the customization process with code suggestions.
Hosting
Mendix provides its own PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) hosting environment called Mendix Cloud. Mendix cloud is very secure and allows you to deploy your application with a click. Besides, you can deploy your business application in a private cloud or other services like SAP and IBM cloud. For on-premise deployment, Mendix offers Microsoft and Linux servers.
Integrations
Mendix applications can be integrated with other services and systems using industry-standard protocols: REST, SOAP, JDCP, and OData. Connecting the 3rd party services to your Mendix low-code app is simple due to the numerous code abstractions and visual data mapping tools available.

Start your low-code app development with PoC
Before investing in full-scale app development, it makes sense to develop a functional and performant PoC. A proof of concept highlights the project's top priorities and requirements. Plus, PoC helps validate your idea early, eliminates financial risks, and strengthens your marketing strategy.

Pros & Cons
Tool Reviews
I always love to work in Mendix which is low-code/no-code enterprise application development software. The user interface and ease of using the software. And most likely continuous deployment and development and we can able to see the live design of the application which we were developing.
The links with other systems can be improved in my opinion. Furthermore, the creation of page layouts is more difficult than it has to be. I hope that with the further development of the web modeler, this will also be picked up.
Create responsive web apps and even native mobile apps in no time with powerful developer tools. Full platform solution, so deploy your app to the cloud with a single click. New releases every month, filled with improvements and new features.
Sometimes the UI could do with a boost, but the Mobile Native First is offering some great help.
I've been working with Mendix for 11+ years and this allows me to develop apps at the speed of ideas. The platform's flexibility allows me to create any application I can think of.
The modeler is free to download and use, but your local application will be terminated after 2 - 4 hours. This means that if you are a professional developer, you'll have to rerun your app(s) several times a day. Annoying when you are debugging.
