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."Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"Containerization is the most valuable feature. I can communicate to the Docker containers using other containers."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."
"The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes."
"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."
"The current version is quite good with our application."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it revolutionized virtualization by providing a new approach with containers that completely nullified the time it used to take to deploy applications on virtual servers, resulting in deployment times that can be as quick as milliseconds, unless it is a heavy application, such as Java. Additionally, resource utilization has greatly improved with Docker, allowing for more resources to be allocated to other tasks. These are a few key features that make Docker a preferred choice."
"The scalability of Docker is good."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"There may not be much room for improvement with Docker as it has greatly evolved. However, one area that could be improved upon is the documentation on their website which was once easy to follow but has become quite terrible with numerous versions being released. As an example, the installation process for Docker now requires more than just a one-line command, causing inconvenience. Additionally, based on my experience as a college instructor, teaching students to install Docker was a difficult task due to the lack of straightforward and easy-to-follow documentation. Docker should focus on improving their documentation to make it more user-friendly for all."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"There is always room for improvement. I often refer to forums such as StackOverflow to learn from other developers' experiences and the challenges they have faced while using Docker."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use."
"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
