Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"This is a free solution that allows us to create quality visualizations for our company."
"The documentation capabilities are very good. Very structured documents and process versions are valuable features, and being able to communicate that to our customers is also a very good feature. It has a good balance between the effort and the result. So, you don't need to be too detailed. You can document while you are modeling, which is a very good feature."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"In Bizagi, all of the features are valuable."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"The product is fast."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"The product is easy to use."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"The product must make automation easier."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"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."
