We performed a comparison between Bizagi, Microsoft Power Apps, and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software.
"It is quite a stable solution."
"Very, very stable."
"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"For our purposes, it is quite scalable."
"The product has good usability, in terms of low-code applications."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"Flexibility, easy setup, and fairly quick results are valuable features of the product."
"Of all of the solutions I evaluated, it was the easiest to use and deploy."
"It's a very workable solution because it's an automated way of making applications. You have a template, you have the application know-how,"
"The UI functionality is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"The solution was very limited."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"The set up of the solution could be simpler."
"Microsoft is not cheap. The pricing could be lowered for their customers."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"The notion people have is that no code equals no knowledge, and that's simply not true. Even though you don't have to write codes, you still have to know what you're doing."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"It is not enough user friendly. It also doesn't integrate very well with SQL Server."
"Integration with databases and other tools needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects."
