We performed a comparison between GitHub CoPilot and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"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."
"What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"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."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"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"."
