Featured Reviews

Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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

"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"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."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"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 database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
 

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."
"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."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."
"There is one disadvantage. When facing problems, it can be difficult to find solutions online (Google/YouTube), unlike with Java coding, where solutions are readily available on Google."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"The collaboration and the workflow engine could use some improvement."
"It has been reported that the technology is very hard to learn, and the service is expensive."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution is free with your Oracle license or database and that is a good value."
"We have a full Oracle E-Business Suite license, and we use that license to develop applications. There's no license required for developing Oracle applications."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"The solution is free."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
