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.
Ashraf Hamza - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient with good data retrieval but improvement needed in user interface
Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards. It is part of our agreement with Oracle E Business Suite and offers seamless data retrieval and performance. Additionally, we utilize its dashboard and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very, very stable."
"The user interface is pretty good."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The approval process is simple."
"Bizagi is really great for beginners because it's user-friendly and you can learn in it quickly, whereas other similar software are harder."
"The interface, design, and accessible user manuals to help get started using the solution are valuable features in Bizagi."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle APEX is its comprehensive set of features for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"There could be more documentation."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I was using the free version."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"Some solutions are completely free. One would be the business process diagramming tool, the server beneath it, and the automation tool. You don't need to pay to map the business process, but you would need to when you want to execute any of the commands. So, basically, they lure you in with a free ride, and when you want to scale the solution, you'll have to pay for it."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"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."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"The solution is free."
"The solution is free with your Oracle license or database and that is a good value."
