Simplifies integrations, accelerates development timelines, and offers a good MVP
We integrate FlutterFlow into our app development process by first developing the code using the enterprise ID. Once the code is ready, we preview it and then download it. We have built a CI process where the code, once pushed to the gate, is processed by CI actions to generate the appropriate output, whether it is an IPA or APK file. While FlutterFlow currently focuses on website development, we write the code in a way that allows us to adapt it for mobile apps as well. We maintain a unified codebase for all three platforms, ensuring consistency and efficiency in our development workflow. FlutterFlow accelerated my development timeline on a project where I needed a simple website with basic navigation and form submissions. While it lacks advanced design pattern options and some features are still maturing, it simplifies integration and speeds up development. FlutterFlow's UI design capabilities have significantly impacted my app development by allowing me to communicate marketing concepts more effectively through visual flow. Every feature in FlutterFlow, from screen design to integrations, has been valuable for my development efforts. However, having better support for multiple design patterns and ensuring compatibility with custom changes would greatly improve the development experience. Overall, I would rate FlutterFlow as an eight out of ten.

Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"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 ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable."
"Personally, I would say that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a powerful tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It has many ready modules that can be used and developed."
"You don't have to know a lot of PL because it's built on PL/SQL. You don't need developers. You only need to design a good application that resolves a problem, or many problems, for companies and you're ready to go."
"I like the fact that it is natively integrated into the Oracle database."
"Intuitive with a user-friendly UI."
"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."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
 

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."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"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."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
