We performed a comparison between GeneXus and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Low-Code Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With GeneXus, we can create logical representations of transactions in the form of objects."
"GeneXus evolves with technology."
"I find the implementation process of GeneXus to be easy."
"With the solution, I can work a normal day. I can plan my work and any other activities for days ahead."
"The most valuable feature is that GeneXus works with several languages. It's possible to develop chatbots and other functionalities."
"The integration module is the most valuable feature of this solution for our business, as it allows our clients to create new systems based on their outdated databases, across all API's."
"In Knowledge Base, being able to model the workflow before developing the screens is great. We first work with the tables or the transactions using GeneXus and then we work on the screens."
"This solution works extremely quickly in terms of enabling an application in a production environment."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"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."
"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."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"We would like to see more extensions and more user controls added to the front-end of this solution, in order to help developers manage the website."
"I told them to add something about Angular. They're already working on adding it."
"It's expensive for a company."
"The graphical interface could be improved. I also notice some performance problems on hardware that should be more than adequate. GeneXus uses a lot of RAM and other computer resources."
"It would be better if GeneXus had a wiki. The developer needs some experience to work with the tools. It would be better if they could improve the community. If we have some problem, I open a ticket that takes us to a board, and I have to describe my issue in detail. If the tools have a general community for us to explore with some videos or some articles, I think that that may help the developer."
"It would be helpful to have additional assisted processing with training."
"The front-end with GeneXus is not as good as the back-end."
"There are issues in integrating it with other solutions."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"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."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"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."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
