We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"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 solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"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."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."
"Its function options can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
