Possible disadvantages of Oracle APEX

• Limited UI Capabilities
  The low-code nature of Oracle APEX can mean limitations in the customization of UI components, which may not meet the needs of highly complex or unique user interfaces.
• Dependent on Oracle Ecosystem
  APEX is tightly coupled with Oracle Database, making it less suitable for environments using a variety of database systems, thus limiting flexibility for some businesses.
• Scalability Concerns
  While APEX can handle many applications, large-scale or enterprise-level application requirements might expose its limitations in comparison with more dedicated, scalable platforms.
• Learning Curve
  Developers unfamiliar with Oracle’s technologies, especially SQL and PL/SQL, might face a significant learning curve when starting with APEX.
• Licensing Costs
  While APEX itself is a free feature of the Oracle Database, the overall costs associated with Oracle's licensing agreements for enterprise use can be high.
