Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The virtual patching feature is valuable.""This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids.""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.""The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development.""It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application.""Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time.""Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development.""The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity.""The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows.""The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform.""It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction.""Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility.""Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great.""It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."

Cons
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.""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".""The product must provide more triggers.""Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement.""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.""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.""One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."

"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it.""The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object.""It does not have the ability to run one single large process.""It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable.""I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication.""They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful.""HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve.""The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."
