- some developers might prefer more control on the environment - all is possible - but developers have strict preferences

- it is running PL/SQL, and doesn't quite follow the MVC framework - though it is based on how you as a developer builds up the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Somewhat intuitive, but difficult to find support."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

The page designer view was pretty easy to learn, with a window giving a rough idea of how your page would look when run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

Most of the error messages that would get thrown had little to no explanation, just an error code. It often took me a long time to find a solution to the error searching through Oracle forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Application development for delivery made easy"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

With APEX, I'm able to easily spin up a user-facing application that allows them to view/update/add information and interact with our data warehouse systems without requiring them to know how to code.

Allows me to build web apps for user interaction without having to worry about the user authentication side of the house.

The REST functionality allows me to communicate with outside services and include their data with the information presented to the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

The steep learning curve is my greatest issue with this software.

Some of the things it attempts to accomplish may be better done in other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Application Express:

Be willing to put in the time to learn this application and you can produce awesome results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Application Express solving and how is that benefiting you?

By using a template in Apex, we're able to create a standard look and feel for our applications throughout the organization.

We can create reports and applications that are built for specific use cases in a centralized application preventing us from support other languages or systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best of APEX"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

Oracle Application Express or Oracle Apex or formerly called HTML DB is the same, various names to define the same product, been around 2002 and part of oracle database installations since 2004.

With Oracle database benefits on back end, try build the web generation, the origins are replace MS access. The developers not need adicional information or learn tons of documentation or other degree to start build with Oracle Apex. We find APEX to be a great tool for rapid development and maintenance of efficient, responsive and scalable applications.

The security, Oracle apex have numerous features out-of-the-box, easily can authenticate over LDAP, Oracle Single-signon, Oracle Database credentials, or HTTP Header variable.

The best think of apex is "Built in Apex to Deploy Apex", and is true, developers not need anything more

The cost is the best, capitalize database investment, amazing solution at very low price or even free with oracle XE database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

Installation complexity is the worst. The conversion rate is very high when new developers join.

The web networks standards not meet in APEX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
