Oracle Forms Reviews

It offers a comprehensive data entry solution, allowing end-users to effortlessly input data for various purposes, including education and finance. We examine fees and seamlessly integrate Oracle Forms with a banking system, enabling students to print their receipts at a bank location, which are then automatically recorded in our database as we develop this on-site system within the university premises.

It offers a wealth of features, including LOBs and triggers, making it a comprehensive platform.

We use the solution as a basic development tool to design specific tasks for database.

The solution is an easy-to-use design tool.

Oracle Forms is a control system for letting persons in and out through card readers.

It's a very old product, and therefore, very seldom do you need to get in contact with technical support for issues. It's very stable.

We use this product to develop applications.

I think the way that Oracle Forms has allowed us to improve our organization is based on what we have been able to develop through the application. How our application design was developed and how the analysis is done and how the user requirements were built are based on what we planned. We only used the Oracle Forms as a tool. We could have used basic and other tools also, but we selected Forms as our best option. 

The main thing which is very useful in Oracle Forms is that we can rely on this tool. There are a very limited number of failures in Oracle Forms compared to .NET Framework or real basic type tools. The last and most important factor for application development is that we can develop an application very fast using this tool when compared to other tools.

There are a few features we've found very valuable in Oracle Forms. First, it's a very flexible solution. It also gives us the ability to provide a front end for the customer to access their data. Additionally, we can update our database through the application.

We've automated a lot of the daily administrative tasks through our applications. I go back to the old COBOL days as I originally programmed in COBOL. Forms is kind of like that in that it provides a standard method for us to provide those solutions to the customer again. 

In other words, we can tailor the interface, the GUI, so that when users go from one application to another application and to yet another application, it gives us the capability to standardize that front end for the customer so it isn't something totally new when they go in there. It gives them a comfort. 

For our bosses, it's a good thing that they aren't getting hammered by functional users saying, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" It's basically good customer service to have a product like Forms.

It has been around for a long time and a lot of companies are using it. It's pretty flexible for it's age. Reports gives you a lot of possibilities to do multiple queries. It’s really good, robust tool.

We do consulting for companies that are already using it, and we do enhancements if they want to add a report or a form. It needs to stay up with the times a little bit more. Everyone wants to move into web services and applications.

Oracle Forms is a tool to do Rapid Application Development (RAD).

The most valuable features are the low-code RAD, performance, and intuitive design.

The best feature we've found is the ability to capture and display exact values in the database. That's exactly what the end user wants to see, because if they store something in the database that they want to retrieve later on, Forms is on the front end. This makes it easy to retrieve whatever was entered into the database before.

It's allows end users who don't have technical backgrounds to capture, edit, and later retrieve data in the database.
