Integrates various functionalities and have good documentation but have high pricing

Cosmos DB offered better scalability. In Azure SQL, we had to carefully manage the storage tier, switching back and forth based on needs. But when we first implemented Cosmos DB, we had a good understanding of the required data volume over the past three months. This helped us select the appropriate tier because we had those figures. If we had done it the other way around, it would have been much harder to estimate the data accurately. While you can get a rough idea, whether it works out in practice is more of a hit-and-miss approach, which we have already experienced with Cosmos DB. We applied the knowledge gained from that exercise to build a similar solution over Azure SQL. On the DevOps side, our team consisted of five members, ranging from senior to junior roles. We would raise requests for specific services needed in the development environment. The process typically takes three to five business days, including all necessary approvals, from submitting the request to receiving the resources and verifying access.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."

"The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."

"Azure is very flexible."

"It's a flexible solution."

"The stability is very good. The performance is excellent."

"Provisioning a server is fast, taking only one or two minutes before it is ready."

"It's stable, easy to use, reliable, and cheap."

"It's a great solution. It's so customizable. Every user can create dashboards to suit their needs. We can create and share them with our teammates easily, too."

More Microsoft Azure pros

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The initial setup is easy."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"The tool is very easy to use."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

Cons

"The license price could be lower."

"At this point, the latency is too high to use Azure in our production environment."

"Its pricing should be better. In terms of features, I am yet to explore the whole solution, and the current features seem okay."

"Technical support could be improved."

"The cost management and billing section features could be improved."

"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better."

"It is pretty secure, but it can always be more secure."

"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."

More Microsoft Azure cons

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"The tool has minor bugs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers pay for our software and use our solution as a service through monthly payments. They don't pay the licensing fee directly to Microsoft."

"The price of the solution could be less expensive and the pricing model could be less confusing."

"The pricing for the end-user packages is a bit high. It is full of very interesting services, but I would still like it to be less expensive."

"The cost of the solution could be reduced. However, I am using the free version."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. For an SME, spending roughly 5,000 euros per month becomes interesting, indicating a significant infrastructure setup in the cloud."

"The license is on a monthly basis."

"It's a very expensive machine and I would like for them to improve the price. There are smaller sized competitors who offer cheaper prices."

"Azure's pricing could be more competitive. Some clients mentioned that they are considering switching to AWS because of the price."

More Microsoft Azure pricing and cost advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
