A robust development tool offering strong data security and exceptional scalability capabilities
It may encounter performance challenges, particularly when handling extensive graphics. In contrast to cloud-based solutions like Apex, Oracle Forms may lack some advanced visual features. In terms of form recovery and enhancements, there's a need for virtualization. The speed and efficiency of data retrieval should be increased. User interaction and the overall user interface design should be significantly improved in the next critical version to make it more user-friendly and intuitive. Having a built-in SQL prompt or a Windows environment alongside the data connection would be valuable. It would be a significant advancement if there were a platform or functionality within Oracle Forms for reviewing and managing alerts.

Helps us generate reports and has an easy setup process
One area that could be improved is Java development. Specifically, Java 8 needs to be improved. Nowadays, knowledge of frameworks like Spring Boot for microservices is essential. With this knowledge, it's easier to undertake Java projects effectively. Therefore, enhancing support or resources for learning modern Java frameworks could be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important thing is the reliability. The over-all user control is very important as is data security. The application is efficient. All of these factors are important to our usage of Oracle forms."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a very old product, and therefore, very seldom do you need to get in contact with technical support for issues. It's very stable."
"Reports gives you a lot of possibilities to do multiple queries."
"The most valuable features are the low-code RAD, performance, and intuitive design."
"Overall, the performance of the solution is very good."
"It offers a wealth of features, including LOBs and triggers, making it a comprehensive platform."
"The main thing which is very useful in Oracle Forms is that we can rely on this tool, as there are a very limited number of failures compared to .NET Framework or real basic type tools, and we can develop an application very fast using this tool when compared to other tools."
"The initial setup process is easy."
 

Cons

"I think the most problematic point is that we still can only use Oracle Forms output as a Java applet."
"In the form itself building it, you can set up selected update functions in the properties. There are times where that gets disconnected."
"You can customize it way too much and it becomes confusing to control."
"The solution should be integrated with Oracle Reports."
"The solution could improve by having a web-style rendered UI."
"I would not recommend Oracle Forms if you want to do development with this product for a new system because it's so old."
"The restriction on methods of exporting results of development needs to be more flexible."
"It needs to stay up with the times a little bit more."
"Enhancing support or resources for learning modern Java frameworks could be beneficial."
