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.

Pros

"The solution is simple; it's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out, and it's very fast to develop the screens and the modeling."
"I think it's a very good solution for developing web applications."
"Our clients use this solution continuously, it has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application, and our clients really like the new version because it does not need to be maintained very often."
"This product allows us to manage our data processing using simple screens."
"I like the fact that it is natively integrated into the Oracle database."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"This solution offers declarative, low-code development and improves delivery speed, accuracy, and performance while providing attractive GUIs that allow professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"The easy-to-use format is flexible and can scale."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"It is always fun having to do the Oracle patches. Our DBAs handle all that, but it does affect us as far as having to take systems down to do the upgrades, which gets a little frustrating."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"From a technical perspective, Apex is not yet well received from developers because they think it is not mature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
