"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"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."
"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."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"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"."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
". 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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
