Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"The product is easy to use."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
