Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
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.
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

"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 autonomous database is valuable and provides the main structure for code development."
"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 features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."
"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."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."

It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
