Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.
Rajeev Lochan - PeerSpot reviewer
Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"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."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"It's low code, or even no code. It's very flexible, allowing you to achieve what you want. You can customize applications with very little code, which is the best part."
"The Unqork team is highly available and responsive."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"Unqork is user-friendly and allows easy navigation for users without technical knowledge."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
"The ease of use, especially in building form-type applications and workflows, is excellent."
"Unqork's no-code platform supports Platform as a Service."
"With Unqork, you can develop user interfaces easily, and it's mostly beneficial for developers and firms rather than at the client level."
"I recommend Unqork for those wanting to start their careers, particularly in sectors like insurance and banking."
 

Cons

"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"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."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"Utilizing Unqork's system for global libraries could enhance efficiency. Currently, developers create separate libraries, which complicates understanding and use."
"When multiple people work on the same module in different versions or branches, merging can overwrite changes. The merging technology needs improvement in Unqork."
"I might have faced a problem with scalability. They are implementing a new version, which is not so good according to what I have heard from other configurers from other companies."
"There are few aspects that need improvement. I can't find any documentation or instructional videos on YouTube."
"The loading speed is very slow. Page responses are also unsatisfactory; when margins are added and components are shifted left or right, they do not respond properly, causing overflowing issues on the website."
"Unqork needs improvements, especially as operations may halt unexpectedly during testing. Its speed may not match that of traditional programming activities, especially when dealing with front-end designs."
"Without proper guidance, one might create a clunky and difficult-to-use system from a developer's perspective."
"Unqork is pretty expensive compared to other tools like UiPath. The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"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."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
