Why Teams Leave VBCS

Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service promised low-code development. The reality is different.

OIC License Tax

VBCS requires Oracle Integration Cloud. That's ~$100K/year for 3 message packs before you've written a line of code.

JavaScript Developers Required

VBCS uses Oracle JET — a niche framework. Finding and retaining developers is expensive and slow.

Months to Deploy

A typical VBCS project takes 3-6 months with a consulting partner. ERPUX apps deploy in weeks, not months.

Quarterly Update Risk

Every Oracle quarterly update can break your VBCS apps. You re-test, re-fix, re-deploy. Every quarter.

5 GB Storage Cap

VBCS includes just 5 GB of storage. Enterprise transaction volumes exceed this quickly.

1.1% Market Adoption

Despite Oracle's push, VBCS has only 1.1% mindshare among Oracle customers. The market is looking for alternatives.
