We performed a comparison between Oracle Application Express (APEX) and Studio Creatio 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."You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."
"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."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The low-code tools and business process management that Creatio provides are useful for our internal processes. It is also very easy to use."
"The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured."
"Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"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"."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"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."
"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."
"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful."
"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."
