Oracle Application Express (APEX) Scalability

TH
CIO at a consultancy with 51-200 employees

Frankly speaking, the solution is not as scalable as Appian. When the number of users or requests increases, we work with the VPS provider to increase resources for the virtual machine or the containers. This affects performance tuning from the VP SSL.

Senior Specialist at Celestica International

My company has around four or five engineers who use the solution. However, taking a user-wise count, I would say the solution has over 1,000 users.

Even though we are an enterprise-sized company using the solution, I feel that the solution is better suited for small companies.

I don't know how many solutions are developed with the help of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The product is mostly used by developers, but not many prefer the tool as they favor Java-driven solutions.

My company mostly integrates the product for our customers.

Database administrator at SSnC

We haven't encountered performance issues with the current workload, and if the workload increases, the scalability of APEX is directly linked to the scalability of the Oracle database. Since APEX functions as one of the components in the Oracle database, it is easily scalable.

It is a very scalable solution. I would rate the scalability as a nine out of ten. Most of my clients are medium-sized businesses.

It offers impressive integration capabilities and can handle a variety of tasks. It's worth noting that over a thousand employees in my company use APEX with ease.

I would rate the scalability of Oracle APEX a four out of ten. Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development.

Bachelor Student at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a scalable solution.

It has the flexibility to accept more users.

This solution is used by ten employees of the company. Half of the employees are administrators and the others are users.

The scalability is good.

We want to increase our use in the future, but I'm not sure if I'll remain with Oracle Application Express (APEX) or experiment with alternative forms of software and low-code apps.

Overall, I appreciate the approach, and I enjoy the program. It will definitely be one of the options in this approach in the future.

Oracle Apex scales well, but you need a good admin who knows how to work with DBA and Linux.

Computer Specialist at a government with 10,001+ employees

This is an area of concern, as we are not sure. We have not explored its scalability.

We have the source code in the database and also produce the forms at the same time.

I don't believe that it is a problem. In most of our use cases, we are either going to have small amounts of people and small amounts of data. 

We have many different teams using it in different areas. For example, we have a big glassware ordering team that uses it, a national management team that uses it to schedule groups and managing programs or agricultural programs. There are nine or ten different teams.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) is highly scalable and can serve up to a required number of users. However, I do not have experience with serving more than approximately100 users. I'm always advertising this tool as being scalable. Bring in the shop.oracle.com as an example, because that site is running on Oracle Application Express (APEX), and you can imagine it can serve up to an unlimited number of users. With good hardware behind the solution, it's scalable, but since I don't have direct experience, I'm pretty sure it's scalable to any possible level. My confidence level in that is 90 percent scalable.

To scale APEX, you need to scale the databases. They're directly related.

I would rate the scalability as six out of ten.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) is scalable and you can grow it, but its UI gets a little bit complicated. The solution is comparable to Visual Studio and Eclipse, where you don't need to install anything because you can just use it on a browser, but if you're into enterprise-level applications or higher-level applications, you have to look at the bigger picture, and this means that if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a studio or proper ID'ing, it can go huge potentially.

The tool is scalable. We have around 40 users in the organization. Sometimes, the number of users might reach 60, depending on the modules.

The scalability could be improved. It depends on the use cases. We will never use this solution for a productive environment with 500 to 1000 users because this would be a bit difficult in my opinion. I would say that the scalability for small applications is good, but the scalability for big applications is bad.

About 100 to 150 people are currently using the solution at my company.
We are continuously building small applications, but we don't plan to use this solution to make big applications. It's very use case driven. When we get a use case that is not big and it's easy to create a web-based application, then we use this solution. So we may extend our use of the solution, but we do not plan to migrate anything directly to it.

System Administrator at Wellness One Day Surgery Center

Oracle Application Express (APEX) isn't a scalable solution because my team had to check a workaround to be able to scale it. For example, if the database reaches 80% or if it has a lot of users in one day, there's no scalability option for those instances.

Oracle Application Express is highly scalable. We are running it on Oracle RAC with a 60-terabyte database and we dedicate one schema for the user databases. In the database, we are running Oracle Business Suite and APEX, it is running very well.

We have approximately 1,000 people using this solution in my organization. Many of them are analysts and business users.

We plan to increase the usage of the solution.

Apex is still evolving and we initially had scalability issues. You can't make large applications with the limitations we had, but you can make small apps really fast, if you have the extra backup.

This solution is scalable. We have not come anywhere near the maximum with our engines. 

We have never experienced any performance issues or performance warnings in our company.

We have 3000 users in our company, but not all of them are using the same application at the same time.

We have many applications with many departments and it's used every day. They are using applications with APEX. They are not developing in APEX, but they are using APEX solutions to launch, for feedback, for security, and monitoring.

APEX is scalable. We have two deployments, two of them behind a local APEX and another in Turkey. The installation is on the local area network. We got three servers that run on the APEX and an APEX installation on a single database in a lab.

You can use multiple servers and the scalability of APEX is really pretty good from an end-user standpoint.  

I do not think there is really much of a limitation on how many people can use the generated applications. This is one thing it is good at.

The product has inside solutions for scalability. You can expand using a talented application server. We tend to have loads of balance there and we find it to be scalable.

We're currently in evaluation mode, and therefore have a limited amount of users on the solution currently. It's not fully rolled out.
