What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

good forms development, Lack reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

No validations on interactive grid entry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Application Express:

develop some testing forms and reports and check for the feature you require. especially the reporting features are not very good and you will have to apply third party tools for reporting, import report data into excel is also an issue. Must done a good homework before shifting to this. But one good thing is the product is not very difficult to understand and if you have some programming experience you can handle things.

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

One Project is Trading and Distribution System, other is Online-Screening Services. Best is it is stable durable. Worst is we are bound to strictly follow the structure, we cannot any how put columns and items as per our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

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.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Application Express:

I know that not everyone is like me and lots of folks have a better grasp on how to jump into projects using APEX, but I've been using it as a necessity for a year and solving problems by bouncing around forums is a harsh way to learn how to use the software. Better, user friendly, actual use cases not just technical details and capabilities would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm currently using APEX to solve some normalization issues for the my Universities Library. They go through annual reporting for accreditation purposes -- logged data is variable, often incomplete, and typically lacking key information. Connecting their data entry to our warehouse allows them to validate on the go, and will significantly minimize their reporting woes at the end of the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Application Express?

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.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

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.

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

We are converting a lot of old SharePoint process to Apex applications. We are also developing new applications using this software. Most of the applications are being used to transitioned an old process to something more efficient and to a place were data can be queried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Out of the box session and security management

- Comes free with Oracle (fully supported by Oracle too)

- Amazing plugin functionality and support

- Flexible templates and designs

- Very robust and every version comes with great upgrades and features

- Surprisingly fast for the number of db queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Application Express?

- It is unlike any other development IDE out there, so takes a while to get used to (steep learning curve)

- 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.

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

I have used APEX from building a web application for a startup using Oracle XE to enterprise level applications managing hundreds of thousands of records.

- It is a great way to standardize application development

- Hassle free security and session management

- Integrated easily with CAS SSO (had to write my own bridge/gateway in PLSQL)

- Easy prototyping when building applications

- Easy to debug and flexibility in error logging

- Easy to handle AJAX calls

- Templates are a breeze to develop and manage and comes with numerous standard amazing templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
