More AgilePoint Pros →

"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation.""It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application.""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 feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications.""Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development.""What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable.""Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""A user interface is relatively simple to create."

Cons
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes.""While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta.""The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier.""They should add more information about functionality.""It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."

More AgilePoint Cons →

"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.""Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers.""I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues.""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".""Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved.""The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution.""Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work.""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."

  • "It is more cost-effective than local tools."
