Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The most valuable feature is the back end."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
