"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.

Cons
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome.""Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"Currently, APEX doesn't have a building workflow engine. I think that's the most important improvement that could be made at this point.""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.""Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot.""Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform.""Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed.""The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution.""In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX.""We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
