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."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."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"I am impressed with the product's independence. We can also deploy it anywhere."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the Dockerfile, which makes the life of developers easy. Developers get a real understanding of container creation."
"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 most valuable feature of Docker is automation. When I deploy the solution I am confident it will work anywhere. It is reliable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."
"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"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."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"I would like to see better management layers."
"I would like to see a single package image orchestration bundled together."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
"We have found that it is not easy to install it into a Windows system."
"The solution’s documentation could improve a bit."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"I would like to see a more UI-based tool so that students can easily understand it rather than memorizing all of the Docker commands."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
