"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications.""It helps us create web pages quickly.""The product is easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use.""Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly.""It's stable and reliable for the most part.""The autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development.""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."

Cons
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions.""Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""The suggestions provided by the product must be improved.""GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement.""In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results.""In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point.""GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More GitHub CoPilot Cons →

"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself.""During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration.""The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration.""I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects.""Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished.""The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution.""There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution.""Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
