Oracle Application Express Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about it was that a non-developer could use it to build a report. Or something else that was useful. Developers might not be as interested but non-developers I see use for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is related to my last answer. I felt it was a bit difficult to use. I thought it would be good for non-developers but also hard to understand how to use for non-developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

APEX is very easy for our developer team to use and to learn. We are able to accomplish the given tasks in a fairly short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our only complaint would be that we fell quite far behind on updating this application but there were never any flags. Upon upgrading our DB we ended up needing an additional 2 weeks of time to upgrade APEX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the pre built applications that come with apex. They show you how to use pl/sql and rest by way of example. You can also implement apex with other oracle products since you can use rest easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it's pretty robust, there are limitations. Apex is not a full platform like SOA and doesn't have any BPMN BPEL components. If your DB is already running, everything is fine; if not, it's difficult to integrate with a different DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very user/developer/DBA friendly interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

APEX is very customizable from a functionality standpoint. It can handle almost every logical issue with the help of a custom package and functions/procedures. I also really like that we can build in custom reports that are delivered when we deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found that APEX can be a bit glitchy when I'm trying to customize the layout within templates. Simple things like centering reports without taking a lot of time to write custom css, turn out to be a bit frustrating. Also, practical documentation is really hard to come by. Many people who do my job have no formal appdev training, and trust on trial and error as we go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apex is a great way to turn paper processes into a digital solution. It can connect to the SIS and other connections easily and once you have experience can turn out small to mid sized applications quickly. Product allows for a great variety and gives our developers a lot of different options when developing an application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be a steep learning curve to the program. It can take my developers 2-3 development until they have a grasp on what the software can do and how to use it effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
