Co Founder And CTO at Gamucopia Creatives

Streamlined lead capture has boosted web performance and made form handling more efficient

Currently, we are not using Cloudflare's security suite to the level much, as Cloudflare by default provides DDoS support; we are just using Cloudflare's DDoS support, which by default protects against denial-of-service attacks. I have used Cloudflare Workers' key-value pair for data storage. It has helped with data access efficiency, especially the data collection of the forms, as key-value pairs are easy to connect, and we are able to validate information much sooner, checking the mobile number. I assess the execution speed of Cloudflare Workers to be faster, at least providing a 30-40% increase compared to traditional server-based architectures, at a minimum. I have noticed time efficiency as the best return on investment with Cloudflare Workers; I am not seeing anything else, as time is the major one. We are planning to integrate WebAssembly with Cloudflare Workers, but we have not done it. I think we are good with Cloudflare Workers as we were having initial troubles with the ID integration, such as Visual Studio Code, but they have started adding some support when we start using their default packages, which can test locally as well as work in deployment; it is easier now, although the documentation can improve. I think the pricing of Cloudflare Workers is decent; it is good.

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 most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."

"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."

"The overall positive impact and benefits I have observed since starting to work with Cloudflare Workers have been good; easy testing, setting up, and testing and deployments are much simpler, and the performance is good with faster execution; it appears to be made for the use case that we want, so it is good."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Application Express (APEX) are the ease and speed of development. Instead of engaging a large team of middleware, front-end, and database engineers, we can have professional look at the front end and have the user interface up and running in a matter of days. However, if you want to go far and implement very custom features, it doesn't require a lot of knowledge of front-end development, such as HTML, JavaScript, or other aspects."

"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."

"It's stable and reliable for the most part."

"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."

"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."

"The most valuable feature is how fast you can do applications compared to other frameworks, like Java and PHP."

"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."

"What's most valuable in Oracle Application Express (APEX) is its secure coding functionality, and the solution also has good features."

More Oracle Application Express (APEX) pros

Cons

"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."

"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."

"The stability and reliability of Cloudflare Workers have been good, except for a few incidents that happened recently where Cloudflare was down, causing some disturbances very lately, in the last few months."

"I see room for improvement in Oracle Application Express (APEX), specifically in the customer-facing UI, which could be better or more adjustable; you can do everything you want, but at a certain point, you must handle things in CSS."

"The solution could provide more AI functionalities or AI assistance."

"I don't like the URL syntax."

"When exporting, we can't export dynamic reports, only static reports. For example, when we want to export charts or tables it is only exported as a static report so we can't drop down on these reports; however, we can see this information when we are on the dashboard itself."

"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."

"The grid reports contain a lot of bugs."

"Apex runs in a browser, so using the latest technology, like push notifications, would be good."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."

"We have an Oracle basic product license, and then we can use Oracle APEX for free. We have many licenses for Oracle for approximately 20 processors."

"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."

"Oracle Application Express (APEX) comes with Oracle. The Oracle price itself. I do not know the exact cost. Oracle is flexible on its price. If you overspend on your hardware, then I don't think you will overpay. I heard that Oracle is more expensive than other databases, but when you consider Oracle is the best traditional relational database out there. You get what you pay for."

"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."

"I believe that the solution's pricing is high."

"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."

"Oracle Application Express (APEX) is free, so this is another magic of the solution. You just get charged for the database license, which I don't need."
