Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The valuable features are charts, reports, and search engines."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"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."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"The product must provide more triggers."
