Chief Technology Officer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.
Dominik Grabiński - PeerSpot reviewer
Oracle APEX Developer at Pretius
Fast low-code web development has transformed how I build complex data-driven business apps
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a very great tool that is easy to learn but hard to master. The level of entry is very low, but the longer I work with this platform, the more I understand how it works and the great things I can create. For example, I can create report graphs and handle a lot of data across many levels. It's a great application to start with, and when I have experience in Oracle databases, I can utilize Oracle Application Express (APEX) as a front-end tool for the Oracle database. Oracle Application Express (APEX) helps me create reports and graphs by providing a plethora of out-of-the-box solutions that I can use. For example, I can upload data to and from the database, upload photos, create maps, and create various report types such as Interactive Report and Interactive Grid where I can manage, edit, and delete data. I have many solutions that are very helpful and ready to use right away from Oracle Application Express (APEX). My favorite feature of Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the Interactive Report because it's a straightforward report that I can create using a simple query or by selecting a particular table from the database. In the action button behind it, I have many great features that I can use out of the box, including graphs and download options for Excel files. There are many sorting functionalities and accounting features. The Interactive Report is a very great tool for quickly displaying interesting data to clients. Oracle Application Express (APEX) has positively impacted my organization by being very fast compared to other languages and products. For example, I don't have to build a site from the ground up, nor do I have to create tons of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because Oracle Application Express (APEX) offers many built-in solutions. When I want to create a button, in another language, I would need to create it from scratch. In Oracle Application Express (APEX), I can simply use what's available out of the box. It's a very fast platform with many built-in components that I can utilize right away.

Quotes from Members

"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"The most valuable feature is how fast you can do applications compared to other frameworks, like Java and PHP."

"The impact of Oracle Application Express (APEX) on our organization is huge because we build our software for all our customers with it."
 

Cons

"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"I don't like the URL syntax—for example, the parameters in the URL for the pages."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"It would be my dream to merge two products into one. Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."

"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price is reasonable."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"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."
"The tool is not expensive."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"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."
