"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"The initial setup is easy."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"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."
"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."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"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."
"It has been reported that the technology is very hard to learn, and the service is expensive."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
