"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."
"Docker packages up an application as a single item that you can then run without the need to install or configure it to work on any specific machine."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is the dedicated QA environment for connecting the team members. Additionally, there are many core features available and it is highly secure when we are imaging a client's server."
"Quick development and the connection with the database are the most valuable and useful features. It is also very stable, scalable, and easy to set up. Its support is also good."
"The solution can efficiently translate from English to another language including Arabic using the XLIFF format."
"It has a well-designed architecture and is a simple 3rd party application."
"The product is easy to use."
"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"It's fairly easy to make a user-friendly interface."
"One standout feature of Oracle APEX is its seamless integration with backend procedures, allowing for quick updates without changing the front-end interface."
"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."
"I would like to see better management layers."
"The runtime and security could improve in Docker. Security is paramount in the cloud and important."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it."
"Stability is an area with a shortcoming."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"It can only be deployed on Oracle Database."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
