Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.
Dominik Grabiński - PeerSpot reviewer
Oracle APEX Developer at Pretius
Fast low-code web development has transformed how I build complex data-driven business apps
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a very great tool that is easy to learn but hard to master. The level of entry is very low, but the longer I work with this platform, the more I understand how it works and the great things I can create. For example, I can create report graphs and handle a lot of data across many levels. It's a great application to start with, and when I have experience in Oracle databases, I can utilize Oracle Application Express (APEX) as a front-end tool for the Oracle database. Oracle Application Express (APEX) helps me create reports and graphs by providing a plethora of out-of-the-box solutions that I can use. For example, I can upload data to and from the database, upload photos, create maps, and create various report types such as Interactive Report and Interactive Grid where I can manage, edit, and delete data. I have many solutions that are very helpful and ready to use right away from Oracle Application Express (APEX). My favorite feature of Oracle Application Express (APEX) is the Interactive Report because it's a straightforward report that I can create using a simple query or by selecting a particular table from the database. In the action button behind it, I have many great features that I can use out of the box, including graphs and download options for Excel files. There are many sorting functionalities and accounting features. The Interactive Report is a very great tool for quickly displaying interesting data to clients. Oracle Application Express (APEX) has positively impacted my organization by being very fast compared to other languages and products. For example, I don't have to build a site from the ground up, nor do I have to create tons of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because Oracle Application Express (APEX) offers many built-in solutions. When I want to create a button, in another language, I would need to create it from scratch. In Oracle Application Express (APEX), I can simply use what's available out of the box. It's a very fast platform with many built-in components that I can utilize right away.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."
"You can say it would be an eight or nine-out-of-ten for quickly creating an application that does not need strong security."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"The valuable feature is simplicity."
"This solution offers declarative, low-code development and improves delivery speed, accuracy, and performance while providing attractive GUIs that allow professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"Efficient software delivery and a solution that works quickly."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"We set up the HTTP server and installed the Apex Xamarin DB using the Mark Hill SQL packages for an older version. That's the extent of our configuration."
"I like the way that it automatically goes into the spreadsheets and the users can deal with it."
 

Cons

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"I've experienced some difficulties when using Oracle Application Express (APEX), particularly when I'm designing forms. For example, when I design a form, I add buttons and controls, but I'm unable to visualize how it'll look unless I run it. You want to design and do things your way, but if you don't have much experience, then you'll find that designing in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a little complicated. This won't be a problem with anyone more experienced, though. If I wanted to create my design, for example, a different table format or some background images, it becomes a problem, and this is an area for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Designing should be easier, even for less experienced users. An additional feature I'd like to see in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is more plugins, particularly a repository that contains a lot of plugins, so you can go to that repository and download whichever you like and use it or add it to your project. Right now, I create my plugins, so it would be helpful if Oracle Application Express (APEX) has a repository of plugins people can use, download from anywhere in the world, and integrate into projects."
"From a technical perspective, Apex is not yet well received from developers because they think it is not mature."
"The migration process is difficult in Oracle Application Express."
"Occasionally when trying to run a page, I would be faced with an error number; however, not much information would be provided on the error itself outside of the programming language."
"If I want to create an application for mobile or offline use, Oracle Application Express (APEX) might not be the first choice since it requires a constant connection to the database."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"From a technical perspective, APEX is not yet well received from developers because they think it is not mature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"Apex is not priced separately; instead, it is associated with the Oracle database. A free option for Oracle database and Apex can be downloaded and installed on this complimentary database version. This aligns with our current approach."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
"When you have a licensed database in an Oracle environment, APEX is free."
"The solution is free."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
