Featured Reviews

Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software developer at QV Systems
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.

Pros

"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"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."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The support is great; whenever I encounter an issue and raise an SR to Oracle, I receive a fast response from their side."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It has a bit of a strict framework, you have to make all the time adjustments in their JavaScript. Another downside is that it's only available for Oracle databases."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"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."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."
