The most valuable features of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) are its speed and ease of deployment. We can quickly deploy infrastructure by writing code.

At the beginning, there were some issues regarding different plugins.

We have been using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) for 6-8 months.

It is a stable product. We've transitioned from using tools like Terraform and found AWS CDK quite useful, particularly in managing cloud permissions and infrastructure.

The initial setup process was easy. All that was required was to install the NPM packet for AWS CDK, and after that, it was ready to be used.

If you're considering using CDK, it's advisable to familiarize yourself with programming languages such as Python. It operates effectively with active vendor licenses.

I rate it a seven out of ten.

I use the solution for my private purposes.

The valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX), which I found to be the most beneficial for the development process, stem from the fact that it is a low-code platform based on PL/SQL. I have years of experience when it comes to RAC DB, and since it is used in the product, I can say that it is an efficient and convenient tool.

If our company tries to fit into the product exactly what the end users request, then the UI part can get complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.

I experience a few problems when trying to send emails through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, but I don't think it is an issue that is directly related to Oracle Application Express (APEX). The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly. The aforementioned details can be considered for improvement in the product.

I have been using Oracle Application Express (APEX) for nine months. Since the product is available on the cloud, it gets automatically updated to the latest version. My company is a customer of Oracle.

I didn't face any stability issues with the product. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

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.

I have contacted the technical support team for the solution, and I found them to be very supportive. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I don't use other products. I have been working with Oracle products for more than thirty years.

In terms of deployment, I take care of it manually. I don't know how to deploy the product in an automated way. I rate the deployment phase an eight out of ten.

I take care of product deployment, and I offer help to our company's customers with quick and fast solutions to their issues.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. I use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, which offers private cloud services.

The solution can be deployed in a few minutes.

There is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. I use Oracle Application Express (APEX) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, meaning I basically pay to use the cloud services and not for the product. Basically, Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free as it comes as a part of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) runs in a database from Oracle. I use the database from Oracle on the cloud, where there are certain free versions available, but I pay for the version I use.

Most of the time, I use Oracle Application Express (APEX) for RAD in our organization.

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.
