Oracle APEX vs. Quixy

Based on our organization's experience, Oracle APEX is a versatile and powerful tool, but its suitability depends on specific business needs, technical requirements, and the nature of the application being developed. Scenarios where Oracle APEX fits well: Business Process Automation/Workflows Reporting and Dashboards for Data Analytics AI based systems such as Select AI Chatbots for data insights based on LLMs Native-like Mobile Applications using PWA feature of APEX Scenarios where Oracle APEX may be less appropriate: Very Complex and highly interactive applications Use cases based on a non-oracle Database

Quixy BPM for managing business processes distinguishes itself through its user-friendly interface and the absence of any coding requirements. This makes it an ideal solution for companies looking to streamline their operations. Quixy BPM is suitable for businesses of all sizes and represents a cost-effective way to save time and effort.

• Easy upgrade path from Forms, allowing reuse of code and a low learning curve for Forms developers.
• Very quick to develop in. Ideal for prototyping or iterative development which is how we usually work.
• Comes with cross browser and mobile compatibility out of the box.
• Easy to incorporate other web technologies.
• Development environment runs straight from a browser. This has proved to be a life saver when issues crop up on a weekend.

• Forms Automation: Quixy helps us in developing forms within minutes and hours with simple drag and drop.
• Report Builder: The report builder tool allows you to generate customized reports based on the data collected available in various data sources.
• Integration: Integration with external systems through API's.

• Can't think of any - the Application Express development team does a fantastic job adopting and supporting emerging trends with each new release.
• Requires Oracle RDBMS; i.e., is not portable to other RDBMS platforms. On the surface this may seem like a con but it is as it should be - Oracle database is best RDBMS available and tight integration with Oracle RDBMS promotes creation of reliable performant apps.

Incentivized

• Better UI/UX will take the platform to next level.
• Application Library: Having base versions of frequently used applications in the app library helps the users to build applications quickly.
• Having more online help content will help the users to resolve the issues on their own.

I felt very comfortable using Oracle Application Express from the start. I designed my data model and quickly developed the basic CRUD pages for master tables. Then I designed the main functionality and was able to test and deploy it in a couple of days work. I will probably share the app with other members of the team and continue adding some features in the short term.

its easy to use as a developer and applications designed using apex are easy and intuitive to use as an end user. Even non-coders can build good applications, the more code you can write the more you can enhance the application but you can get up and running quickly with almost no technical know how.

Quixy has allowed us to focus on more important tasks, as the platform takes care of labor-intensive administrative work. The automation of various processes has been invaluable, as it has saved us a considerable amount of time and resources. Overall, Quixy has transformed our administrative work and has enabled us to allocate more resources to critical tasks, leading to better outcomes for our organization.

Very active and knowledgeable community support includes quick and helpful responses from the Oracle employees on the product development team. I've never had to raise an official support request - everything is dealt with via forums and user groups - or via direct emails. The supposrt commuinty is one of the great things about Apex.

Using it on the cloud is really simple, the entire process of configuring and provisioning an Oracle Database takes only a few minutes (less than 10) and then Oracle APEX is already deployed on the database, so you just have to start using it. I would strongly recommend using APEX on Oracle Cloud Free Tier.

If you are expert in SQL and PLSQL and use Oracle Database, then the best choice is Oracle Application Express. The functionality is already complete and very easy to use, so it's useless to find another tool if you are using Oracle. You don't use Oracle APEX only if: (1) you are using other database than Oracle, and (2) your application load is unpredictable.

While Excel is a powerful tool for organizing data and creating basic inventory spreadsheets, it lacks the automation and integration capabilities that Quixy provides. Also, we can integrate with other business systems, such as accounting and order fulfillment systems. So, we can actually have centralized system connected across several departments for automation.

• In the mid-size organization, we had a BI tool that had a significant license cost involved. With Oracle back-end we were able to switch to APEX and move all reporting at literally zero cost.
• For Oracle PL/SQL users the learning curve is very quick and easy, there are ready templates that you can start with and eventually create complex reports.
• You can track authorization and authentication on data editing and usage. High performance as it is native oracle sql codes.
• Centralized data capturing, makes your datawarehouse writable for lookup tables or reference tables.

Incentivized

• Faster Digitalization (time is money)
• Step by Step and independent transition for every department
• Automation of 70% of our manual process till date and counting
