The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The tool is very easy to use."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The initial setup is easy."

Cons

"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."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"The tool has minor bugs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
