We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure App Service and Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One valuable feature of Azure App Service for us is its integration with Azure DevOps, which we heavily rely on in our development process."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"This solution is easy to deploy."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"The virtual patching feature is valuable."
"In our experience with Apex, we find that minimizing reliance on HTML and JavaScript is preferable, especially considering our background as seasoned programmers adept in PL/SQL. Incorporating HTML and JavaScript can pose challenges due to potential compatibility issues when updates are made to JavaScript. We also make use of JAPER report integration for generating reports, a practice integral to our reporting procedures."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to build very fast data-driven UIs."
"Oracle APEX improved our organization by making it possible for us to implement agile project development."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can develop everything locally and deploy it for different kinds of operators in different locations, so we can do our job in one piece. The benefit of that is that others can use these applications. They connect to the internet to do these kinds of applications based on the permissions for those users."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"It helps us create web pages quickly."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of the maturity of the solution. Everything is available that we need, but the issue is that they are still upgrading. Even though they have Azure applications and automation services, they still need to mature more. There are many things that need to mature and the road map for this is quite long, taking another three to eight years to have a mature solution."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"The product must provide more triggers."
"One area for improvement in Oracle APEX is its workflow orchestration capabilities."
"It should have the functionality to develop mobile applications. It would also be good if they can improve development in videos and other formats."
"The workflow engine should be embedded in the solution."
"Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished."
"In terms of improvement, there should be a greater focus on AI and machine learning tools in Oracle APEX."
"You also need an APEX specialist for deployment because not many people use it."
"It would be highly beneficial if APEX were an all-in-one platform capable of handling all aspects of application development."
