APEX: A versatile development platform, ideal for developing or improving applications at low cost
- It is an easy tool to adopt, which allowed us to replace developments in Oracle Forms in many cases.
- It is very simple to develop different kinds of analysis, in a faster and more friendly way than running Oracle Reports.
- It helped us to extend our approval workflow, in order to cope with difficult branches that were hard to solve with the standard workflow.
- It was possible to develop web applications, to share information and transactions with our commercial partners.
- Perhaps is our problem, since we haven’t explored it deeply, but I think that a better portability to mobile devices would help the adoption of APEX.
- Applications weren’t as light as we thought, and we had to move the APEX server to the same data center where our data base was running, due to performance issues. When we started, we supposed that that situation would not be an issue.
- At least in Argentina and Brazil, you can not find as many programmers with experience in APEX as you can find with other technologies.

APEX? Live happy, deploy happy!
- It's free: it can be used with the different versions of the ORACLE database including the Express Edition.
- It has authentication and authorization features within the development environment, which is totally web.
- High availability in environments with Oracle RAC.
- Installation and configuration of APEX are simple.
- No extensive programming experience is required, the interface is very intuitive and there is a lot of information on the web and on the official site of Oracle.
- It allows exporting interactive reports to different formats: PPT, PDF, HTML, among others. The ability to include graphs for the dashboard simulation is very attractive and quite complete, up to the level of simulating a drill-down, by clicking on a portion of the graph to redirect to a detail table.
- Developing collaboratively can be a challenge because there is no version at the level of pages or applications.
- There is an opportunity for improvement in the way data is exported from the interactive report to PowerPoint format.
- Improve the way to optimize the performance of the application in the database separately from the engine.

APEX can do it for you!
- Allow you to use data from your Oracle Database to pre-fill forms or reports.
- It allows you to write data back to the Oracle Database.
- It is extremely fast! We have over 100 concurrent users in our APEX application and never get complaints about performance.
- It is highly configurable and can be used to create all kinds of different applications.
- You can only use APEX if you own Oracle Database.

Design and develop dynamic data driven apps
- Support for dynamic data driven applications
- Easy connection to SIS
- Helpful support team
- Steep learning curve
- Very easy to create a dashboard-like app platform with minimal coding knowledge.
- Implementation went off without any issues and the connected systems worked very well.
- Users can create their own reports very easily.
- While we were transitioning to more Oracle based services, we did find that APEX was locked to only Oracle products. So if you are not fully committed, it will have limited functionality.
- No version control and so make sure to keep communication open between developers.

APEX: The fast prototyping tool you already own
- We were able to create a web based label application and it was quite robust.
- Very easy to create proto-types that can be developed quickly and thrown away if not satisfying the needs
- Developers do not require a long learning curve to pick up the fundamentals.
- Must have Oracle Data Base to use this product. Only works with ORACLE products.
- Could use version control. Developers must communicate in order to preserve each others work.
- Not all Web hosting companies support APEX. This would be a nice to have.

Building apps with APEX
- It's all web-based. Very easy to get started.
- Lots of tutorials and books available on the topic
- Easy to build useful apps
- Security is both simple and strong
- Just need a web browser to use the app
- It is not a batch processing environment. Not sure this is 'room for improvement' but it is best at collecting and displaying information, getting information from spreadsheets, form entry, and more.
- If the web is not available, you cannot access the app.
- No connection to the server' and manually editing anything. it is all online and stored in Oracle tables.

Best tool to build web application
- Easy to build web-based application as we need to write less code.
- It provides an attractive user interface to build database queries.
- It provides high-level security which means never worry about their personal info.
- It should increase the perfomance as we face performance issues while using dynamic files.
- It should return instant results so that resubmiting a page can be avoided.
- There are many steps required to find out the actual issue in the code.

Quick notes on why I like Oracle Apex
- Enables fast application development and can be used by all levels of developer from novice to advanced
- Produces good looking, intuitive responsive web applications that are easy for the end user to understand and use
- It's in the database so can leverage all the power and functionality already there in Oracle.
- Improvements are being made all the time. Some more documentation of javascript APIs is in the next release - this will be useful
- Increased range of charts and diagrams would be good but it is already possible to do these using Oracle Jet with a bit of effort using javascript.

Apex is the new Era...
- Easy to build and configure
- More graphical reporting

Oracle Application Express (APEX)
- It's easy to install/upgrade.
- It is having a very small system footprint.
- We have deployed it on a WebLogic server and interfaced it with Oracle EBS. It is currently offering us very flexible and lightweight forms/reports.
- We find it to be a very good product. No suggestions here.

APEX-ED Review
- Allows for rapid application development - within days you can create applications that are business ready and have an intuitive UI.
- Bridges the gap between database development and web development. Due to its declarative nature database developers with no web development experience can create enticing and visual front-ends. It allows you to dip your toes in the water of web development and slowly pick up the concepts.
- Automated testing capabilities - it would be good if APEX could have some testing capabilities so that it could further speed up the development cycle.
- More of a selection of declarative JET Charts and the JavaScript actions that can be done against them.
- APEX can help you create complex and powerful reports and drill downs along with the ability to Edit the data on the fly.
- APEX can be a good replacement for Excel data entry sheets, providing centralized access to table data with authentication.
- Data entry forms with validations and triggers can be created using your existing Oracle infrastructure, easy to implement and deploy.
- APEX is a tool that can combine data entry forms and reporting (parent/ child ) using the Oracle tables in your database.
- Users get the ability to make changes to the forms data in Apex and commit, get to the report page and see the changes in real time.
- For complex APEX applications you need to be a pro expert in PL/SQL
- Debugging in APEX can be complicated if there is a logical error. Syntax errors will end up shown as ORA errors
- Lack of designer interface. Even though you are designing a form you need to do it by means of APEX interface using a series of steps, no UI for design
- Oracle specific not applicable for other databases

Oracle Application Express (ApEx) Analysis
- Installation included for free with Oracle Database
- Easy to access from a browser, both from desktop and from mobile
- Simple web based interface for development
- Easy to learn, with a good variety of functionalities already implemented and customizable
- Able to interact with Oracle back-end technologies and with many third parties web tools
- Sometimes it is so simple that it doesn't offer the desired functionality
- At the beginning it may be a bit difficult to work with the customizations required starting from the basic applications offered inside the installation
- It may be difficult to insert "advanced" customizations on the page (eg: web scripting for effects or popups)
