Abstract | Low-code platforms have revolutionized enterprise application development by enabling rapid, cost-effective solutions with minimal coding expertise. Oracle Application Express (APEX), a no-cost feature of the Oracle Database, is a leading contender renowned for its seamless integration with SQL and PL/SQL, high performance, and scalability in data-centric applications. This article evaluates Oracle APEX against prominent low-code platforms, including Microsoft Power Apps, OutSystems, and Mendix, to guide enterprises in selecting optimal development tools. Through a systematic methodology, the article attempts to compare these platforms across eight dimensions critical to enterprise development: performance (e.g., response times, data processing efficiency), scalability (e.g., concurrent user support, deployment flexibility), ease of use (e.g., accessibility for citizen developers), integration capabilities (e.g., API and database compatibility), cost (e.g., licensing, subscriptions), security (e.g., compliance, encryption), community support (e.g., forums, resources), and extensibility (e.g., custom code, AI integration). Drawing from recent literature, vendor documentation, and user reviews, this study highlights findings that emphasize Oracle APEX's superior performance and cost-effectiveness for data-centric applications. This study offers a decision-making framework for enterprises, balancing trade-offs like APEX's Oracle dependency against other low-code platforms' scalability to optimize low-code adoption. |
