Oracle Application Express Reviews & Product Details

It truly is Rapid Application Development (RAD). You can easily create mobile/web applications that has all the power of current mobile/web development technologies. The best part of it is that it is running on the world's most reliable and efficient relational database management system - Oracle.

You don't need to worry about installing any client IDE's, developing code for CRUD operations and worrying about UI/UX. The IDE is web based and you can make use of pre-built templates, themes and plugins to give your application a very attractive modern look and user experience. You can also further customize and do your own development using the Client Javascript APIs, PL/SQL APIs and Java APIs as well.

You can also host it on your favourite web server as well, whether it be Apache, TomCat or Glassfish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be a separate licensing for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface and the installation of apex. The installation is quite easy and the interface looks really cool. In the past, the cost of developing applications using Oracle Forms and Reports was so high that it was difficult and expensive to develop business solutions based on Oracle. Oracle APEX has given us more opportunities to develop solutions in recent times with lower costs for application development. I love the Quick SQL function; it's an awesome feature that enables me to build the model of the business logic that I'm implementing in the design & development of my Oracle APEX Solution. The Application Express development team does a fantastic job adopting and supporting emerging trends with each new release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything I dislike, but the navigation can be improved for easier access. Can't think of any - the Application Express development team does a fantastic job adopting and supporting emerging trends with each new release. Requires Oracle RDBMS; i.e., is not portable to other RDBMS platforms. On the surface, this may seem like a con, but it is as it should be - Oracle database is the best RDBMS available, and tight integration with Oracle RDBMS promotes the creation of reliable, performant apps.

The user interface of Oracle Application Interface is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. It is intuitive in nature and buttons are placed nicely on the screen to utilise the space well. I like it very much for building reports and forms with a few clicks only. Development cycle gets reduced significantly as it promotes Rapid Application Development. It's tightly integrated with Oracle and this makes it super valued. It offers various plugins to customize the UI as per the needs and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Diagrams need to be more detailed in nature for the complex SQL queries. This is because for small queries, we can easily understand the diagram directly. But when it comes to large queries of more than 1000 lines having several functions and procedures in it, having a detailed diagram is a must. Apart from this, I can't find any problems in it.

Oracle Database is one of the most reliable Relational Databases and have been the first choice for almost all Clients in different sectors across the world for storing large scale of Business data.

To be honest, I haven't seen any limitations in the tool, it covers almost all technical aspects required for developing web application having high-end features and functionalities sufficing client's need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can develop and deploy high quality, scalable web application very quickly. Being a low code development environment, the power of APEX platform can be leveraged by both technical and non-technical resources in the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, it has to be the tight coupling with Oracle database, APEX is built and stored in Oracle database, which means you might end up paying hefty fees for a Standard or even EE database licenses depending upon your scalability needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Oracle APEX, I had created REST API and used it HTML 5 mobile application. I also like the user friendliness of framework and easy to make RAD. Plus the latest dark mode is the major relief to my eyes. Good luck Oracle APEX Team, you're doing great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using the APEX Framework since it was called HTMLDB. Since then, Oracle has made an impressive leap towards modernization and user-friendly framework. In Simple words,my love increased for apex day by day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no IDE is required to develop an application in APEX and developer can develop their application in just internet browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no option to take a parameter from APEX application to pl-sql procedure (database side), and also we can't do the same within the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A platform for developing web applications and deploying them to our enterprise. One of the best platforms to expose data in the form of APIs. High support for using web services and external APIs. Good DevOps process to take care of CI/CD. Used Visual Builder Cloud services along with Process Builder and OIC and APEX seems to be a nice fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it has to improve more to improve its web app capabilities and come up with more rich libraries for development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the interface is useable and easy to navigate. I also liked that there is a lot of configuration possibilities. I found a lot of plugins available for it, so it makes our development much easier. Easy set-up. Plugins. Lot of configurable options.

Promotes declarative Rapid Application Development and thus provides tremendous business value by shortening development cycles. Very rapid development of forms and reports. Awesome GUI look and feel. HTML 5 and CSS 3 compliant. The new version 19.2 now supports rest endpoints for forms and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to use version control. Integration with other databases like My SQL, etc. But they should really improve the version control, sometimes it's hard to use. Can't think of any - the Application Express development team does a fantastic job adopting and supporting emerging trends with each new release. Requires Oracle RDBMS; i.e., is not portable to other RDBMS platforms. On the surface this may seem like a con but it is as it should be - Oracle database is best RDBMS available and tight integration with Oracle RDBMS promotes creation of reliable performant apps.

- Rapid development.

- Easy and fast understanding of coding principles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This framework is primarily used only with Oracle. If Oracle decides to go further, they need to think about how to open APEX to other databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
