We performed a comparison between GitHub CoPilot and Oracle Application Express (APEX) 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."The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"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."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"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."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
