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…

Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
"The format is not recognized by Microsoft Word products."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"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."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is completely free of cost."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"The solution is free."
"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 Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"It is expensive in comparison to other products."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
