What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

The user interface of Oracle Application Interface is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. It is intuitive in nature and buttons are placed nicely on the screen to utilise the space well.

I like it very much for building reports and forms with a few clicks only.

Development cycle gets reduced significantly as it promotes Rapid Application Development. It's tightly integrated with Oracle and this makes it super valued. It offers various plugins to customize the UI as per the needs and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

Diagrams need to be more detailed in nature for the complex SQL queries.

This is because for small queries, we can easily understand the diagram directly. But when it comes to large queries of more than 1000 lines having several functions and procedures in it, having a detailed diagram is a must.

Apart from this, I can't find any problems in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Application Express:

Highly recommended for building applications in a quick turnaround time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Application Express solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating forms, diagrams, lists, and reports. administrating users is super easy and it is extremely fast.

Debugging can be done at various layers and it is portable on all devices. It is highly beneficial for creating scalable applications in a quick time. The most important feature is that it is fully customizable and you can develop the application in a single web browser itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so much litterature. There are a few very good blogs but overall when you google for an issue on Oracle Apex you don't have a lot of choice. Besides Oracle documentation is quite difficult to understand. It's either too detailed or too generic... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it has great value and it actually have the ability to integrate to other Oracle applications easily.

I needed fast access to data for some users, e.g. query only and I could create an application in just a couple of hours for them. A Since they were in the same network and domain I didn't need a lot of security and let APEX take care of access control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

The Oracle APEX is the best tool that I have come across to do Rapid Application development based on oracle Databases. It allows me to easily deploy the the ORACLE APEX solution across my client's business.

In the past the cost of developing application using oracle Forms and Reports was so high that it was dificult and expensive to develop business solutions based on Oracle.

Oracle APEX has given us more opportunities to develop solutions in last time with less costs for application development.

I love the Quick SQL function it's an awesome feature that enable me to build the modal of the business logic that I'm implementing in the design & development of my Oracle APEX Solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

It would be good to have some advance sample application included as APEX Demo that users can study to develop advance Oracle APEX solutions.

Allowing oracle APEX to connect to other Databases such as MYSQL or MSSQL would set APEX apart from all Low Code Platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Application Express:

I highly recommend Oracle Application Express APEX. Oracle APEX has allowed us to develop robust solutions that satisfy our customers requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Application Express solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Oracle APEX I'm able to create Finance Solutions much quicker then before. I was able to develop a Beneficiary Management System that has been paying land owners here in PNG.

My other solutions being developed at the moment are based on e-governance solutions in the justice and boarder management sectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any thing kind of dislike but the navigations can be made better for easy access. Can't think of any - the Application Express development team does a fantastic job adopting and supporting emerging trends with each new release.

Requires Oracle RDBMS; i.e., is not portable to other RDBMS platforms. On the surface this may seem like a con but it is as it should be - Oracle database is best RDBMS available and tight integration with Oracle RDBMS promotes creation of reliable performant apps.
