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.

Comprehensive features in one platform improve project management
There are numerous areas for improvement in Unqork. For example, while they are replacing view grid with Vega grid, the Vega grid lacks certain features available in the view grid. In the view grid, we can have buttons against each row and events against each row event, which is not available in Vega grid.Case management functionality is not currently available. Regarding versioning, while it is available to the market, it is not optimal. If versioning is deployed on any application, rolling back is not possible. When multiple people work on the same module in different versions or branches, merging can overwrite changes. The merging technology needs improvement in Unqork. Connecting to the database is straightforward, but querying MongoDB and getting results requires additional effort. Case management is still unavailable to the general market. We attempted to implement it but had to step back as it did not meet all business functionalities. The Vega versioning also presents development challenges despite business interest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"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."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"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."
"I like how we can actively develop and customize APEX because it's on the same database."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Unqork is stable."
"Unqork's pricing is premium; it's structured on a per-user, per-month basis with tiered plans depending on features and scale, which offers good value for money."
"The feature of being able to stand a UI with minimal effort and a very quick turnaround is valuable."
"Unqork's no-code platform supports Platform as a Service."
"Unqork has helped reduce the time complexity and development time significantly."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"The ease of use, especially in building form-type applications and workflows, is excellent."
"Unqork is a low-code, no-code platform that is easy to use compared to traditional development."
 

Cons

"For beginners, understanding the installation process can be challenging because documentation is limited."
"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."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"Connections to the application pages are not handled well and at times more than one user can be accessing an application with the same ID."
"The solution's layout could be improved for report generation to allow more configuration."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration."
"The solution does not include a default or custom template like other products."
"Unqork needs improvement in mobile application support, as competitors offer this feature."
"For applications facing around 1 lakh customers, it's better to avoid using Unqork due to significant data latency issues and limited control over optimizations for API calls."
"When developing large platforms with significant traffic, there are scalability challenges, which might affect performance."
"Without proper guidance, one might create a clunky and difficult-to-use system from a developer's perspective."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"Unqork is pretty expensive compared to other tools like UiPath. The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath."
"Unqork needs improvements, especially as operations may halt unexpectedly during testing. Its speed may not match that of traditional programming activities, especially when dealing with front-end designs."
"There are areas in Unqork that need improvement. The ongoing development of the Vega feature, which is built on React compared to the older Century built on AngularJS, should be optimized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate it around an eight in terms of price, with one being low and ten being high."
"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 tool is not expensive."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
"Oracle Express comes with the Oracle license, it is a bundle."
"The product is completely free of cost."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"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."
