Sherif Bashar - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Digital Solutions at Aptec Ingrammicro
Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day
There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services
It is very stable. It works 99.9 percent of the time. We are quite happy with it. This product is used to help broadcast football games' live streams, video matches and fantasy games, and it is used extensively. We have almost two million plus downloads, and during peak seasons, we could have 100,000 concurrent users watching 11 different matches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"The new generation of Rackspace Cloud servers are a strong improvement over the first generation."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"It is very stable; it works 99.9 percent of the time, and we are quite happy with it."
"The tourism business is seasonally based, therefore our infrastructure needs are variable, and this service works perfectly for us."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"Ability to quickly create reliable virtual servers."
"Image backup is a valuable feature, and even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
 

Cons

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."
"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
"It's often difficult to get timely support with a ticket, they seem to live by phone calls there."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
"I had a few instances where techs on off hours made extremely bad decisions, resulting in extended site outages lasting hours."
"Vertical scalability is very limited compared with Amazon EC2, which offers many sorts of instances."
"Comparatively, this solution is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"Comparatively, this solution is a bit expensive."
"The service includes licenses (for operating systems, databases, etc.). Asset management is easier with services like that."
