"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."

"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow. Even individuals that are not tech savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it. This can make the organization as a whole more agile."
"Will give us better control over asset management and technical debt once we can centralize all contract information."

"It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data."

"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"It's too complicated and there are too many options."
"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."
"There is room for improvement in price."
