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."I find the HCL Domino server scalable."
"We have been able to set up a portal using a special XPage application that gives our customers access to this system."
"It is an excellent solution."
"We can scale it if we want to."
"I like that HCL Domino is stable. It's a great product. I also like that HCL Domino is a mature product under IBM, which is why many companies use it."
"HCL Domino is an application development and collaboration platform with strong stability and security. Deployment of this platform is easy and takes only 10 minutes."
"They offer good support and provide a roadmap."
"The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."
"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 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 virtual patching feature is valuable."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"HCL Domino could have a better interface."
"The solution is expensive."
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly."
"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported."
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart."
"HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
