Featured Reviews

TusharShankar - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Manager at Synechron
AI coding assistant has transformed development speed and supports learning new languages
Any technology comes with two things, or rather anything in this world has both sides, good and bad. LLMs also have the same thing. The bad part is for a person who is 100% dependent on AI because they won't be able to learn more if they are 100% dependent on that. The main thing is that there has to be restraint from our side. I won't say it is from the tool side, but from our side, we need to learn and we need to work on it. We need to review the code. That is one thing that we need to do from our end. From a technology perspective, it is designed to help us out, and it is totally on our side of thinking about how exactly we are going to use that. There is not any area for improvement from the tool side, but it is from the users altogether. Users should not be 100% reliant on AI or any LLMs. They need to work on it and they need to review the code.
Rodrigo-Mesquita - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software developer at QV Systems
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

"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"I use it almost like a search engine, but it goes a step beyond."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"It enhances efficiency and productivity in development."
"Things which were taking like two days are now finished within half an hour."
"GitHub Copilot can improve productivity by up to 40%, especially for experienced developers. Senior developers often spend more time reviewing code, which can make the code review process a bit longer."
"Copilot is highly recommended for everyone."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"Oracle APEX is very easy to use and comes with a lot of ready-made components that speed up the process of creating reports and dashboards."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You can customize the solution to create a console where only business users can access and download files if they want to extract the data."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"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."
"The solution can build functionalities in a very short time."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"They could improve the product in terms of integration with other tools."
"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."
"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"While I don't see immediate room for improvement, one suggestion is for Copilot to provide specific suggestions for certain lines of code instead of rewriting entire sections."
"I don't have enough experience to share this kind of feedback."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"Regarding features, the solution lacks the ability to integrate with different databases. Also, I feel that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is exclusively designed for other Oracle tools."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"The solution does not support the Linux platform."
"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
