Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
Pros and Cons
  • "The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
  • "If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."

What is our primary use case?

We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications.

How has it helped my organization?

The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes.

What is most valuable?

We initially explored many features of the product. However, since it was for a client and they only allowed the use of specific functionalities, we did not explore much further beyond the initial stages. The easy deployment process is a highlighted feature.

What needs improvement?

If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform. You have to use third-party tools. If Oracle could provide an inbuilt feature for complex logic, it would be better. Also, some features require additional payment.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for around three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are some stability issues. On a scale of ten, I would rate it a seven or eight.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. However, increased scalability impacts the cost directly. The scalability itself isn't a problem, but the associated cost increase is.

How are customer service and support?

Their support is good. They provide better support, and I can rate it an eight to nine on a scale of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We work with Microsoft SharePoint and Mendix. Compared to these low-code, no-code platforms, Oracle Application Server is better in some aspects but less cost-effective than Mendix.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We do the implementation ourselves. We are not partnered with Oracle but are implementers.

What was our ROI?

The product does not offer cost savings. It is a costly solution. That said, its easy implementation is beneficial.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing model is costly. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it around four to five. Compared to other solutions like Mendix, Oracle Application Server is more expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Microsoft SharePoint and Mendix. Mendix is less costly than Oracle Application Server.

What other advice do I have?

If you are looking for a faster implementation on a low-code platform, I would recommend it. Otherwise, I might not recommend it.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A cost-effective solution for ERP solution but requires data analytics

What is our primary use case?

We are a non-banking microfinance organization. We use Oracle Application Server as an ERP solution. We use finance, microfinance, and HR modules in this ERP server to streamline our operations.

What is most valuable?

The solution addresses our core objectives as a microfinance organization. Its features align perfectly with our needs, and we adopt the best practices from other organizations already using it.

What needs improvement?

The solution’s analytics part could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Application Server for eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around 150 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a five out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Oracle has provided us with the support we require.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is a little complex.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Oracle Server is ideal for our core business needs, and Microsoft Power BI is best for data analysis.

What other advice do I have?

We're a small and medium-sized business with data needs. Oracle’s features cater primarily to data management, which is relevant to us because our data size is moderate, hovering around 10 gigabytes. Before Oracle, we relied on Azure Microsoft SCS Server for our database, but it couldn't handle our optimization requirements. That's why we migrated to Oracle Server.

We're apparently using VMware. Oracle is not operating 24/7. We haven't experienced any issues, but some power factor may have caused the server downtime.

Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
