Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"Process management is easy with Bizagi; validating processes and assigning resources is straightforward."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"It's low code, or even no code. It's very flexible, allowing you to achieve what you want. You can customize applications with very little code, which is the best part."
"It's stable and reliable for the most part."
"The product is fast."
"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."
 

Cons

"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"The product must make automation easier."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."
"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"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."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"It has been reported that the technology is very hard to learn, and the service is expensive."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"The price could be lower."
"The product must improve its cost."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"This is a free solution."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"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."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
