Very stable and efficiently translates languages for the whole user interface in minutes
Our company uses the solution for our internal processes such as project management, customer tracking, and opportunity tracking. We have a dashboard that compiles our days and information coming from different applications.  We also provide the solution to customers. We have one instance…

Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"The product is easy to use."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
 

Cons

"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
