Eases the writing of code in Java with JavaBeans; easy to set up
My advice to anyone who intends to use ADF for the first time is that you must make sure that you have powerful enough hardware in order to run everything smoothly, especially when it comes to JDeveloper. If your hardware is adequate, you can get by without a problem in terms of speed, but be advised that it can use a lot of resources. However, even though ADF is a good product with great scalability that has really helped me out in hard times since 2014, I would ultimately recommend that new users look toward Oracle APEX instead of ADF. I would rate Oracle Application Development Framework a nine out of ten.
RakeshPatel2 - PeerSpot reviewer
It's highly scalable, secure, and provides all the enhanced tools I need.
Spring Boot could improve its integration with the major cloud providers. Connectivity with cloud solutions isn't easy compared to other frameworks like Django and Python. I need to connect to GCP, so I would like to have one simple dependency that I can include to immediately connect to GCP, so I don't need to go through all the configuration steps.

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 feature is the ease of integration with other Oracle products."
"The single sign-on features applied to Oracle Cloud is a valuable feature. All parts of this application are compatible with single sign-on, where you have a security feature that is very good in Oracle Cloud."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the business components."
"The best part of Oracle ADF is being able to easily write code in Java with JavaBean files."
"The power of Oracle ADF is in the business components."
"It's database-centric, and it's seemingly easy to use the model–view–controller pattern that's built-in."
"The most valuable feature of the Oracle Application Development Framework is the rapid development and the security it provides."
"We can create objects that allow us to develop pages and applications very rapidly."
"The setup is straightforward."
"Spring Boot is much easier when it comes to the configuration, setup, installation, and deployment of your applications, compared to any kind of MVC framework. It has everything within a single framework."
"It is a stable solution."
"Spring Boot's main feature is that it's great for DevOps because you can write your own application. You don't need to install Apache Tomcat. You can create your project easily with a few clicks."
"The solution is easy to use; I primarily employ integrated templates such as the REST template."
"The most valuable feature of Spring Boot is the microservices and change information. Additionally, there are plenty of features."
"It gives you confidence in a readily available platform."
"It's great because it simplifies development. Together with MyBatis they make a beautiful pair for Java development."
 

Cons

"Oracle ADF needs more components and the layout can be improved."
"I use JDeveloper along with ADF and, unfortunately, JDeveloper is a very slow tool. It takes a lot of time to accomplish things with it during both development and deployment. I hope that Oracle will improve JDeveloper to make it run faster."
"The application needs to be more lightweight and the performance improved."
"The performance of this solution needs to be improved because it is very slow."
"Oracle Application Development Framework is set to go out of support over the next three years but they should provide support for the solution for the longer term. Additionally, there needs to be more overall optimization and specifically in webpage rendering. The solution uses a lot of resources, and in order for them to move forward, they would have to create a smaller resource impact."
"The UI is very slow and not up to market standard."
"Lacks tailoring to geographic regional differences and consistent integration with third parties."
"The model layer could be improved for performance because once that part gets bloated, the performance is lacking. So, there is room for performance optimization."
"The solution has some vulnerabilities and fails our security audits, forcing us to keep fixing the solution."
"It's difficult to explain to junior developers what it does under the hood."
"Spring Boot's cost could be cheaper."
"They should integrate the solution with more AI and machine learning platforms."
"We'd like to have fewer updates."
"They should include tutorial videos for learning new features."
"If you want to have multiple integrations, the setup phase will become complex."
"The cross framework compatibility has some shortcomings. With JUnit Test Runner and Spring Boot, it's really tedious to make them both work to write the test cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have yearly licensing costs."
"Oracle ADF is an expensive product. I don't know the actual figures, but our licensing costs for the year 2020, for example, were very high."
"The solution has an annual licensing cost and there are only standard fees. If you want Oracle support this is charged extra on top of the licensing fees."
"The cost of this solution is approximately $47,000 USD per site."
"We use a lot of Oracle products and in total, we pay about £5 million ($6.1 million USD) per year."
"Spring Boot is open source."
"The solution is free."
"The solution is an open-source tool."
"Spring Boot is an open-source solution."
"This is an open-source product."
"Spring Boot is an open source solution, it is free to use."
"This solution is free unless you apply for support."
"It's open-source software, so it's free. It's a community license."
