We performed a comparison between Oracle Application Express (APEX) and QuickBase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"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."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"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)."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"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."
