Software developer at Apps2Go TECH
Creates versatile applications seamlessly across platforms
I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter. It is easy to use when you understand the code, know how to use Docs, and understand the components of Flutter. It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments. Additionally, it works for both PC and iOS devices.
Dominik Grabiński - PeerSpot reviewer
Oracle APEX Developer at Pretius
Fast low-code web development has transformed how I build complex data-driven business apps
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a very great tool that is easy to learn but hard to master. The level of entry is very low, but the longer I work with this platform, the more I understand how it works and the great things I can create. For example, I can create report graphs and handle a lot of data across many levels. It's a great application to start with, and when I have experience in Oracle databases, I can utilize Oracle Application Express (APEX) as a front-end tool for the Oracle database. Oracle Application Express (APEX) helps me create reports and graphs by providing a plethora of out-of-the-box solutions that I can use. For example, I can upload data to and from the database, upload photos, create maps, and create various report types such as Interactive Report and Interactive Grid where I can manage, edit, and delete data. I have many solutions that are very helpful and ready to use right away from Oracle Application Express (APEX). My favorite feature of Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the Interactive Report because it's a straightforward report that I can create using a simple query or by selecting a particular table from the database. In the action button behind it, I have many great features that I can use out of the box, including graphs and download options for Excel files. There are many sorting functionalities and accounting features. The Interactive Report is a very great tool for quickly displaying interesting data to clients. Oracle Application Express (APEX) has positively impacted my organization by being very fast compared to other languages and products. For example, I don't have to build a site from the ground up, nor do I have to create tons of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because Oracle Application Express (APEX) offers many built-in solutions. When I want to create a button, in another language, I would need to create it from scratch. In Oracle Application Express (APEX), I can simply use what's available out of the box. It's a very fast platform with many built-in components that I can utilize right away.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"Oracle APEX has proven to be a solid low-code solution that works quite well for simple and complex scenarios of data-intensive applications."
"This solution offers declarative, low-code development and improves delivery speed, accuracy, and performance while providing attractive GUIs that allow professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"This product allows us to manage our data processing using simple screens."
"With small teams of four to six, with a maximum of 10 people, you can build every kind of product."
"The easy-to-use format is flexible and can scale."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
 

Cons

"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"I think Apex is like many similar tools that are currently available. If you want specific reports, you have to implement third party tools."
"It can be modern and more user-friendly."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"Currently, APEX doesn't have a building workflow engine. I think that's the most important improvement that could be made at this point."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms."
"If I want to create an application for mobile or offline use, Oracle Application Express (APEX) might not be the first choice since it requires a constant connection to the database."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"APEX itslelf is a free product, but you will need to license peripheral components."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"To my understanding, my organization is using the free version of Oracle Application Express (APEX), but I'm unsure because I haven't checked the pricing or licensing cost for it."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
