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 solution is simple. It's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out. It's very fast to develop the screens and the modelling."

"The product is fast."

"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."

"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."

"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."

"A user interface is relatively simple to create."

"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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

More Oracle Application Express (APEX) pros

Cons

"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."

"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."

"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."

"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."

"I don't like the URL syntax."

"Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."

"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."

"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."

"Currently, APEX doesn't have a building workflow engine. I think that's the most important improvement that could be made at this point."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."

"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."

"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."

"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."

"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."

"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."

"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."

"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
