"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"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."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The flow editor is the most valuable feature. It is simple and intuitive, and it can guide you step-by-step."
"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"There is literally a ton of stuff it can do. It's very flexible."
"One thing I like about OutSystems is that there's no lock-in. You can keep running your applications because it's on .NET and hosted centrally. That's one of the advantages I see there in terms of not having an IT strategy that has a dependency on a particular platform."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"It is a stable solution, and the initial setup is straightforward."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"One of the biggest areas for improvement is that every time an existing data element is modified, it creates a new data element. It doesn't really modify that particular data element. So, a user has to follow an extra step of removing the existing data element and bringing in the new and modified data element that is being added, which sort of goes into negative productivity."
"The technical features are good, but the actual commercialization is out of reach."
"The solution is costly."
"There are not enough resources on the market."
"The integration points need to be increased. People have also started to adopt this solution for their regular needs. That means it's not only the big enterprises that are adopting this solution. There are also small and medium enterprises that are adopting it. I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit. That is the idea that no customer would know at the beginning and would also not like to hit the wall there. When it is on the client, there are a lot of applications already on low-code, and then suddenly you realize that you want to do some big applications, and you face hurdles. This is the general feedback for all such platforms."
"Since we first started using OutSystems, they switched their language support from Java and .NET to .NET only, which was a bit of a surprise. Their language support could be better in this sense, although on our resource side it is now a bit more flexible."
