Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"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."
"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."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"The solution is free."
