Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
Software developer at Apps2Go TECH
Creates versatile applications seamlessly across platforms
I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter. It is easy to use when you understand the code, know how to use Docs, and understand the components of Flutter. It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments. Additionally, it works for both PC and iOS devices.
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

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"It is a free product; install it and start having fun, as APEX out of the box is pretty good and very easy to get started, and you can get your data out in five minutes."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"From a technical perspective, APEX is not yet well received from developers because they think it is not mature."
"If I want to create an application for mobile or offline use, Oracle Application Express (APEX) might not be the first choice since it requires a constant connection to the database."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"There is one disadvantage. When facing problems, it can be difficult to find solutions online (Google/YouTube), unlike with Java coding, where solutions are readily available on Google."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
