It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
I did a demo of Caspio to see if I could recreate a web application by importing a CSC file Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform. The visualization of the data pages…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"I like the fact that it is natively integrated into the Oracle database."
"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."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"Another issue I used to encounter was with the debugging functions. I believe this is an area where Oracle APEX could improve significantly in terms of displaying error messages or error pages. It is very difficult to detect bugs or which bugs you are having when it comes to errors or which errors you have."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is completely free of cost."

"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."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
