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.

It's highly scalable, secure, and provides all the enhanced tools I need.
Spring Boot is a Java Framework, and it offers dependency management for Maven and Gradle, but we use it as a Maven project. We're a massive bank, and I estimate that 95 percent of Java projects use the Spring Boot Framework. It's upwards of 40,000 users Spring Boot provides an all-in-one…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are several valuable features. First is the fast deployment. Also the ease of use."
"The power of Oracle ADF is in the business components."
"The best part of Oracle ADF is being able to easily write code in Java with JavaBean files."
"The most valuable feature of the Oracle Application Development Framework is the rapid development and the security it provides."
"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."
"We can create objects that allow us to develop pages and applications very rapidly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the business components."
"The most valuable feature of Spring Boot is all the interactions to various applications happen using Spring Boot."
"It's great because it simplifies development. Together with MyBatis they make a beautiful pair for Java development."
"The solution's framework is stable."
"It is stable."
"This solution is really user friendly. In terms of prototyping, it's really fast to build the applications we want to test to complete a proof of concept."
"Spring Boot's most valuable functionalities include inversion of control, dependency injection, and the ability to gather all services, models, and controllers together for easy connectivity to your REST API, as well as the ability to build a modular response and request system. It seamlessly integrates with various backends, such as SQL, events, and messaging systems, making it a user-friendly and efficient Java tool. Additionally, it functions as a reliable business transaction layer, providing excellent support for front-end and back-end visual tools."
"Spring Boot facilitates the use of Java which is open source. We use Github and other libraries that are available which assist in the building we need to do."
"The solution is easy to use; I primarily employ integrated templates such as the REST template."
 

Cons

"Oracle ADF needs more components and the layout can be improved."
"The performance of this solution needs to be improved because it is very slow."
"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 UI is very slow and not up to market standard."
"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 model layer could be improved for performance because once that part gets bloated, the performance is lacking. So, there is room for performance optimization."
"You need to have Oracle ADF on-premises to build a big project. You need to have a dependable front-end application."
"Lacks tailoring to geographic regional differences and consistent integration with third parties."
"communicationbetween different services from the third party layers or with the legacy applications needs to improve."
"This is a really good solution for me and I can't think of anything that can be improved."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"If you want to have multiple integrations, the setup phase will become complex."
"The cloud packaging is not very straightforward."
"Having to restart the application to reload properties."
"They should include tutorial videos for learning new features."
"Perhaps an even lighter-weight, leaner version could be made available, to compete with alternative solutions, such as NodeJS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution is an open-source tool."
"Spring Boot is open source. It's a free tool and free framework."
"The solution is free."
"As Spring Boot is an open-source tool, it's free."
"Spring Boot is free; even the Spring Tools Suite for Eclipse is free."
"This solution is free unless you apply for support."
"This is an open-source product."
