Pros
"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."

More Caspio Pros →

"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface.""The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use.""Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly.""By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map.""It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."

Cons
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."

"The solution’s pricing is high if you use it on the OCA platform. It’s also a little bit costly. However, if we use it on an on-premises Oracle database, the pricing is cheaper.""The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution.""One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities.""Occasionally when trying to un a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language. It would be nice if more information could be provided.""It has been reported that the technology is very hard to learn, and the service is expensive.""It can only be deployed on Oracle Database.""We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.""I don't like the URL syntax."
