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

"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."
"The approval process is simple."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"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."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"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."
"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."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"The product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
"Can be difficult for new users."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"The product must make automation easier."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"Oracle is more of a database-oriented solution and is not very flexible in app development."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"Better connection and integration with non-Oracle databases is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"This is a free solution."
"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"It is expensive."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
