Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time.""The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities.""The integration with various products.""Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity.""Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability.""In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them.""The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."

"The program is scalable.""The product is reliable.""WebLogic Suite is scalable.""This is a robust solution.""The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent.""The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution.""Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale.""The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."

Cons
"The product is not user-friendly.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.""Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login.""An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue.""Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA.""I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""SOA"

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition.""This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications.""The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters.""I think the support could be much better.""Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten.""Lacking a solution for smaller applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
  • "Based on my knowledge, Oracle SOA Suite doesn't have user-based licensing. It has a system-based licensing model, so you pay for whole systems. Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution, so it's a four out of ten for me."
  • "The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

  • "Scaling is costly."
  • "Technical support is very costly."

    Overview

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
