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

"The most valuable features are security, stability, and ease of implementation."
"The database is super easy to use for creating tables."
"I like that Oracle Application Express (APEX) is powerful and attractive, allowing my organization to modernize forms within two months. I also found its PWA feature very powerful because you can produce substantial mobile applications."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"The most valuable applications within the organization are primarily data forms and extended reports."
"I particularly enjoy the web builder capabilities, especially the Page Designer. It offers so many elements or components to choose from, which is a major plus for me."
"What I like best about Oracle Application Express (APEX) is that it doesn't require hard coding for reporting and building applications. It's a GUI-based application builder that even end-users with little development and language knowledge can develop applications on Oracle Application Express (APEX). The software is also very user-friendly, which I find valuable."
"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."
"I would recommend Unqork because of its time-saving capabilities and ease of use."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
"The technical support for Unqork is excellent, receiving a nine out of ten."
"Unqork optimizes the process of storing and fetching data through plugins, making it easy compared to other products and enhancing productivity."
"Unqork has helped reduce the time complexity and development time significantly."
"Unqork's no-code platform supports Platform as a Service."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs to be accessed via third party tools."
"It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."
"We would like to see tighter integration with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
"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."
"Maybe there are other technologies that offer what APEX cannot."
"Oracle Application Express would be improved if you could use it on a mobile platform."
"There are few aspects that need improvement. I can't find any documentation or instructional videos on YouTube."
"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."
"The loading speed is very slow. Page responses are also unsatisfactory; when margins are added and components are shifted left or right, they do not respond properly, causing overflowing issues on the website."
"I might have faced a problem with scalability. They are implementing a new version, which is not so good according to what I have heard from other configurers from other companies."
"Utilizing Unqork's system for global libraries could enhance efficiency. Currently, developers create separate libraries, which complicates understanding and use."
"Unqork is pretty expensive compared to other tools like UiPath. The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath."
"Unqork could benefit from allowing more flexibility in creating projects and extending them to other languages like JavaScript, Angular, or React."
"Without proper guidance, one might create a clunky and difficult-to-use system from a developer's perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution is free if you are using on Oracle database."
"I believe APEX comes bundled with the database, including autonomous database and other related database products, so the pricing is quite reasonable."
"The pricing is very good and less expensive than Mendix or OutSystems."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"It's a free solution with no additional costs."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
