Featured Reviews

Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"I like the fact that it is natively integrated into the Oracle database."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"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."
"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
 

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."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
