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.

Pros

"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"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 Unqork, you can develop user interfaces easily, and it's mostly beneficial for developers and firms rather than at the client level."
"Unqork's pricing is premium; it's structured on a per-user, per-month basis with tiered plans depending on features and scale, which offers good value for money."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
"Unqork is a great choice over other BPMS tools like Pega."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"The feature of being able to stand a UI with minimal effort and a very quick turnaround is valuable."
"The features of Unqork that I find most valuable include its performance and security."
"The ease of use, especially in building form-type applications and workflows, is excellent."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the slow reporting because pulling the report for two months, one year, three years, etc., is very slow. It takes more than thirty minutes to download the report. There's also room for improvement in integrating Oracle Application Express (APEX) with other vendors, such as open-source solutions through API integration. I believe Oracle is working on this feature, or the issue could be because my organization is using an older version of Oracle Application Express (APEX). The Oracle database also has to be improved because it's still lacking in some packages, triggers, and indexes."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Occasionally, during server-side execution with multiple loops, we encounter timeout issues, which is something we've had to address with technical support."
"When developing large platforms with significant traffic, there are scalability challenges, which might affect performance."
"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."
"Unqork is not an extremely mature solution. Many things that I worked with them on were functionally basic but missing from the platform."
"Unqork is not efficient for building e-commerce sites where the user interface is more dominant than the data."
"When multiple people work on the same module in different versions or branches, merging can overwrite changes. The merging technology needs improvement in Unqork."
"For applications facing around 1 lakh customers, it's better to avoid using Unqork due to significant data latency issues and limited control over optimizations for API calls."
"Unqork needs improvement in mobile application support, as competitors offer this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
