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."I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"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 features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"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."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBase is its dynamic form capabilities. These forms allow backend automation, making tasks like updating data based on specific conditions much easier."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"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."
"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."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"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."
". 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."
