Mohammad Alrawajih - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable tool to create workflows requiring an easy initial setup phase
I use AgilePoint in one of the world's largest companies where I currently work. My team and I worked together and created forms, workflows, reports, emails, and a custom portal, which was a very difficult process. Sometimes, we use Dynamics 365 with Logic Apps and AgilePoint for some of our use…
David Darte - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code platform which is easy to use
If our company tries to fit into the product exactly what the end users request, then the UI part can get complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required. I experience a few problems when trying to send emails through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, but I don't think it is an issue that is directly related to Oracle Application Express (APEX). The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly. The aforementioned details can be considered for improvement in the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the design and the integration capacity. It's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"By using Express, we are able to load the data and integrate it into our data map."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
 

Cons

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"There is one disadvantage. When facing problems, it can be difficult to find solutions online (Google/YouTube), unlike with Java coding, where solutions are readily available on Google."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free, so this is another magic of the solution. You just get charged for the database license, which I don't need."
"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
