# Oracle Application Express Reviews **Vendor:** Oracle **Category:** [Low-Code Development Platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/low-code-development-platforms) **Average Rating:** 4.3/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 85 ## About Oracle Application Express Oracle Application Express enables you to design, develop and deploy beautiful, responsive, database-driven applications using only your web browser ## Oracle Application Express Reviews ### 1. Fast Delivery with a Powerful Low-Code **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lech C. | Oracle APEX Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2026 **What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?** I like that it is a low-code tool. You don't need to be an expert in many languages to create a functional application. Most features are available out-of-the-box, which is great for fast delivery. **What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?** PWA features for offline use are still not great. If you need a serious offline-first mobile app, other frameworks are probably better. Also, team development and CI/CD can be tricky. Oracle added 'Working Copies' recently to help with this, but it’s still not as easy as standard Git workflow in other languages. **What problems is Oracle Application Express solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the problem of building professional tools quickly using a low-code approach. I can use many ready-made components based on the Oracle Database, like interactive reports, charts, and maps, which look great without much effort. I can also implement complex workflows and advanced data filtering modules very easily. What’s more, integration with other platforms is very simple, and the built-in ETL tools make data loading easy. You basically have everything you need in one place. The biggest benefit is that clients can modify these reports and filters by themselves without contacting a developer. This 'self-service' approach saves me a lot of time on maintenance and allows me to deliver more features in less time. ### 2. Oracle APEX Makes Building Web Apps a Breeze **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dominik G. | Oracle APEX Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2026 **What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?** Oracle APEX is a powerful tool for creating applications, especially web-based ones. Thanks to a vast number of built-in components, creating both simple and complex applications is a breeze. **What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?** Oracle APEX isn't particularly well-suited for offline application development; unfortunately, it requires a constant database connection. Mobile applications aren't the tool's strong suit either. **What problems is Oracle Application Express solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've often created applications for numerous clients that began with the phrase, "I have an Excel spreadsheet that does this and that." My task was to transfer the functionality from that spreadsheet to Oracle APEX. Thanks to the ability to import such a file and build, for example, an interactive report based on it, the first steps of such an implementation were quick and simple. ### 3. Oracle APEX: Powerful, Secure Low-Code That’s Easy to Learn **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2026 **What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?** Oracle APEX is a powerful low-code development tool that primarily focuses on the data model and business logic, rather than spending more time on user interface development. It’s flexible, secure, and easy to learn. **What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?** It is less flexible when it comes to highly customized, modern UI requirements compared to other low-code development platforms.
