Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The most valuable feature is the back end."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"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 product is easy to use."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"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."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
