An easy-to-use format that is flexible and scalable
Our company has a partnership with the solution and we use it as a development platform. We have between 500 to 1,000 users.  The virtual patching feature is valuable.  The solution does its job by providing the needed protection.  The easy-to-use format is flexible and can scale.  The solution…

Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards
The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
"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."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"The tool enables users to work offline through the mobile application."
"The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured."
"The most valuable features are performance, built-in variety of multiple task automation, and has international standards notations."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
 

Cons

"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"I don't like the URL syntax."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"Visual Builder and APEX should meld in one product."
"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."
"Oracle should implement vertical and horizontal data segmentation in APEX's security framework, so Dev teams don't need to do any heavy lifting in the APEX screens. This is a common issue in enterprise apps. It would be nice to seamlessly integrate Git repositories into the development process since the current solution can result in overlapping work or an eventual overwrite. The provided example apps are great, but they could benefit from some added documentation in the "explanation screens"."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."
"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."
"Numerous options can make implementation confusing."
"The documentation must be more technical."
"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."
"Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free, so this is another magic of the solution. You just get charged for the database license, which I don't need."
"Pricing is expensive, overall on an enterprise system but we consider that it gives corresponding value in the product."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
"It is fairly competitive."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
