Although we are satisfied with the current solution in our company, our organization has decided to migrate to the cloud, and they have chosen Azure as the cloud platform. We are responsible for following up with the migration process as a team. Though the cloud and on-premises versions are available for Oracle Application Express (APEX), my company chose Azure.
My company's database uses Oracle products along with Oracle Apache and Palo Alto.
The product's interface is intuitive and easy to use. I would tell those planning to use the solution that it is easy to use and learn. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) as a low-cost platform has impacted our company's productivity and project timelines since it is a simple task and offers efficiency, but considering what a user requires to fit in, especially in terms of UI and UX, it can be a much more complicated tool than the other technology in the market.
I don't need to integrate the product with other tools. For IT or web service providers, the integration part of the product works very well. The tool is also easy to implement.
No maintenance or troubleshooting is required for the product. A third party or subcontractor is involved in the maintenance and troubleshooting of the product.
I recommend the product to those who plan to use it because it is easy to use, and its features support the entire solution.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate Oracle APEX a nine.
I recommend the solution and I believe it all depends on the complexity of the application they are planning to build. If it is too complex, then I think this may not work.
APEX is good for medium-complexity applications.
View full review »My advice for those interested in using Oracle APEX is to start promptly, as there is a learning curve, particularly if you are less familiar with CSS and JavaScript. In the initial stages, you may encounter limitations when creating more complex interfaces and feature-rich applications, which may require additional effort in terms of CSS and workload. However, for straightforward applications, Oracle APEX is user-friendly and easy to use. Overall, I would rate it as a ten out of ten.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who prefers rapid application development and it surpasses many other tools in the market. The product is user-friendly, and its intuitiveness makes it a standout choice for such development tasks. I would rate it eight out of ten.
I would rate this product as a five out of ten, right in the middle. Number one, it is easy to scale for simple matters. However, when it comes to complex development, it can be challenging and time-consuming.

Maintaining the solution is not very difficult. It will be difficult if you want to change the existing framework and don't know the functionality properly. Only a technical person who has already worked with the platform can upgrade the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Oracle APEX is a good solution to create web applications quickly and easily, with many options.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
View full review »I use Oracle APEX for rapid prototyping and deployment. It is the most efficient tool I have used, significantly reducing development time compared to older platforms. With its low-code interface and abundance of features like dynamic actions, APEX simplifies development, especially for those familiar with traditional forms. Its web-based nature and minimal need for customization further enhance its usability. Overall, APEX streamlines the development process and enables quick deployment of applications with minimal coding effort.
The integration capabilities of Oracle APEX are impressive. We have leveraged backend database connections via DB links to interact with multiple databases seamlessly. This allows us to consolidate data from different sources and generate comprehensive reports within a single APEX application. While we haven't fully explored all integration possibilities, APEX supports various functions like JSON files, web services, and REST APIs, offering potential for future integrations, such as with customer compliance systems.
Overall, I would rate Oracle APEX as an eight out of ten.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) excels in data automation and digitization.
It also supports Dynamics reports and Dynamics Graphical charts, as well as analytical methods.
I believe it is good, and it is simple to implement.
You will save a lot of time for developers to develop their use cases, or implement their use cases into the software.
It allows many users to users to use it. I would say it is good software with enough information on the Internet for people to learn.
Just maybe it's not really good for a brand new beginner who doesn't have any programming or software knowledge, it will be a little bit more difficult to speak with Apex, but overall, I think this local platform saved a lot of time for developers or companies to build their customized, management system or customized ERP.
I would rate Oracle Application Express (APEX) a seven out of ten.
The three-point loss is because of the debugging issue that they have, as well as the interface, which is not very straightforward and is not completely understood.

The solution is directly connected with Oracle Database. Without Oracle Database, we can't develop it. I fully recommend the solution to users who have Oracle Database. We can use the solution for free if we have access to Oracle Database. It also covers some enterprise features. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I would tell those considering this tool that if you have an Oracle environment, it's worth taking a look at. If you don't have an Oracle environment in place, it's the wrong tool. Also, I would tell them to stick to the standard functionalities of APEX and not try to extend it with custom code. We learned that if you stick to the standards the application gives you, it's easy to maintain and it's easy to transfer from one developer to another. If you start to create custom code in hidden areas, it's very hard for the next developer to find the code.
I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten.

View full review »I work in the healthcare sector, and the EMR system I'm using is developed on Oracle Application Express (APEX). My organization also uses Microsoft 365, but just the basic version for exchange purposes.
I'm a user of Oracle Application Express (APEX). I'm using a very old version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), version 4.2.
I'd advise anyone looking into using Oracle Application Express (APEX) to try the new version of the solution rather than the old version because the new version is good. Oracle has updated the forms and reports in the latest version and integrated many APIs for open-source solutions. The new version of Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more advanced than the older version because it now has SQL server compatibility, so I recommend it.
My rating for Oracle Application Express (APEX) is six out of ten, particularly for the current version used in my organization, as it has a lot of issues, but as I've said, it's an old version that needs to be updated to the latest one.
My organization is an Oracle customer.

In order to go with APEX, you need to know everything about Oracle as a database, starting from a secure fundamental as the beginning, PL/SQL, and administration of the database. You have to know about HTML5, JavaScript query, and jQuery.
I would rate APEX a seven out of ten. The drawback of APEX is the relation between APEX and Oracle, there is no relation between APEX and other databases. It's very good for learning APEX and it is stable.
Your company has to understand how to invest in it. It is a wonderful database. If it's Oracle, it is the best one in the world. So when we invest in people, invest in Oracle, we will get our results. Everything is available and everything can be developed with any applications.
View full review »I think it's a very good solution for developing web applications. It's very easy to expand the web application and have strong security in the functionality and availability on the Oracle APEX. I think if some company chooses Oracle APEX as a solution, it's a better base for any web development.
On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate APEX as absolutely a 10. When I started to work in my company they solved a lot of problems for creating a small application, a small form for reporting for anything by using Oracle APEX. Now that I use Oracle APEX I think it is the best solution for my development.

Earlier, we were using Oracle applications. Now, we are using APEX. I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
View full review »I'm an expert on Oracle Application Express (APEX).
I'm working with the latest Oracle Application Express (APEX) release.
I have many Oracle Application Express (APEX) projects, with one project deployed on-premises, and another on the cloud, using an autonomous database.
Two people work on the Oracle Application Express (APEX) deployment, which is the magic of this solution because it only requires two people to deploy on a massive project, even with hundreds of CRs. The deployment process is smooth.
Compared to Oracle Forms, Oracle Application Express (APEX) requires eighty percent less maintenance.
The ministry has seven thousand concurrent users working with the solution, with one hundred thousand transactions daily and about sixty thousand reports printed daily.
I would recommend Oracle Application Express (APEX) to others looking into using it one hundred percent. I'd tell you not to go with other tools because there's no comparison between Oracle Application Express (APEX) and its competitors. I have twenty years of experience in development, and I've worked on Java, .NET, Oracle forms, Vega, and low-code developments. I hardly have to work when using Oracle Application Express (APEX). My advice is to choose it over others.
I'm giving Oracle Application Express (APEX) a perfect score of ten. I'm giving it a hundred percent rating.

Once you start to develop with APEX, you will be hated by programmers and coders. They will want to show you that they can do the same as you can do.

The forums are quick, and I follow those to lookup features, and I just recall it. I follow all the online seminars and that was enough for me.
There are some restrictions when using this product, but it can be valuable for developing and integrated with E-Business Suite. Because in some instances, some tools aren't available in the E-Business Suite environment.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Application Express (APEX) an eight.

APEX is a pretty old application and a pretty old environment. Most people are usually trying to get rid of it rather than bringing it onboard. For anyone still considering it, I strongly suggest going to the cloud application because the general strategy of Oracle Corporation is to support applications on the cloud. There are multiple other solutions to consider from Oracle or other vendors as well.
On a scale of one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Oracle Application Express depending on the task. For some tasks, it is just perfect. You can say it would be an eight or nine-out-of-ten for quickly creating an application that does not need strong security. But for some tasks, like when you try enhancing an application, the score is pretty low. In that case, I would give the product a three or a four.

View full review »I wouldn’t recommend an official training by Oracle. They are too long and expensive; however, there is tons of information on the web, many books, and a lot of third party trainers that run reduced versions of the introductory seminars. Apex even provides a two-day tutorial that I think is pretty good. It shows you the basic concepts like how to use the tool and what is available.

While I would recommend the solution, it would depend on an organization's requirements.
