We performed a comparison between Docker and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."
"The solution is easy to deploy for clients so it saves a lot of hassle."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is automation. When I deploy the solution I am confident it will work anywhere. It is reliable and easy to use."
"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"Docker is easy to understand and follow. It provides good scalability to the application."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"I would like to see a single package image orchestration bundled together."
"The solution could improve with a GUI instead of only a command line interface. Having to use the command line interface can be a hassle."
"Docker could improve by having more advanced features."
"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."
"The command line interface could be more intuitive. I constantly struggle with it."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
"The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important."
"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
