What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

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.

Lot of configurable options.

Oracle Application Express is tightly integrated with and thus leverages all the richness and power of the Oracle database - best RDBMS on the planet

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.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

Hard to use version control.

Integration with other databases like My SQL, etc.

But they should really improve the version control, sometimes its 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.

Likelihood to Recommend If you need rapid application development, this is the tool that you need. It is easy to use, and you can develop an application easily and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
