Scalable solution with an easy initial setup process

Eases the writing of code in Java with JavaBeans; easy to set up
My advice to anyone who intends to use ADF for the first time is that you must make sure that you have powerful enough hardware in order to run everything smoothly, especially when it comes to JDeveloper. If your hardware is adequate, you can get by without a problem in terms of speed, but be advised that it can use a lot of resources. However, even though ADF is a good product with great scalability that has really helped me out in hard times since 2014, I would ultimately recommend that new users look toward Oracle APEX instead of ADF. I would rate Oracle Application Development Framework a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"The solution is stable."
"We use the solution to create microservices."
"The most valuable feature of the Oracle Application Development Framework is the rapid development and the security it provides."
"We can create objects that allow us to develop pages and applications very rapidly."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of integration with other Oracle products."
"The single sign-on features applied to Oracle Cloud is a valuable feature. All parts of this application are compatible with single sign-on, where you have a security feature that is very good in Oracle Cloud."
"There are several valuable features. First is the fast deployment. Also the ease of use."
"The power of Oracle ADF is in the business components."
"It's database-centric, and it's seemingly easy to use the model–view–controller pattern that's built-in."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the business components."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"The application needs to be more lightweight and the performance improved."
"You need to have Oracle ADF on-premises to build a big project. You need to have a dependable front-end application."
"I use JDeveloper along with ADF and, unfortunately, JDeveloper is a very slow tool. It takes a lot of time to accomplish things with it during both development and deployment. I hope that Oracle will improve JDeveloper to make it run faster."
"Oracle Application Development Framework is set to go out of support over the next three years but they should provide support for the solution for the longer term. Additionally, there needs to be more overall optimization and specifically in webpage rendering. The solution uses a lot of resources, and in order for them to move forward, they would have to create a smaller resource impact."
"Lacks tailoring to geographic regional differences and consistent integration with third parties."
"The performance of this solution needs to be improved because it is very slow."
"The model layer could be improved for performance because once that part gets bloated, the performance is lacking. So, there is room for performance optimization."
"Oracle ADF needs more components and the layout can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We use a lot of Oracle products and in total, we pay about £5 million ($6.1 million USD) per year."
"Oracle ADF is an expensive product. I don't know the actual figures, but our licensing costs for the year 2020, for example, were very high."
"The cost of this solution is approximately $47,000 USD per site."
"We have yearly licensing costs."
"The solution has an annual licensing cost and there are only standard fees. If you want Oracle support this is charged extra on top of the licensing fees."
