We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic 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."The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"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 ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"This is a robust solution."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"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."
"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."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The support is not good."
"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."
