Featured Reviews

Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates versatile applications seamlessly across platforms
I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter. It is easy to use when you understand the code, know how to use Docs, and understand the components of Flutter. It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments. Additionally, it works for both PC and iOS devices.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"Oracle APEX allows our company to complete webpage projects easily in a fast turnaround time."
"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"Oracle is always adding very important updates"
"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."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
 

Cons

"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"The solution has some stability problems that need to be resolved."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"There is a problem with security because the applications store passwords in the configuration files."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"There is a bit of a learning curve involved when first using the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"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."
"The pricing is mid-range so is neither expensive nor cheap."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
