"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"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."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its Graphics Form Design."
"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."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"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."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
