Valuable Features

  • "The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
  • "I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
  • "The product provides transparency in finances."

Room for Improvement

  • "The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
  • "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."

Pricing

Enterprise buyers evaluating Oracle SOA Suite should consider its moderate to high pricing. Licensing requires thorough planning, including estimating infrastructure needs and possible usage to optimize costs. Engaging an expert can ensure cost-effective licensing decisions. While not the cheapest option, it offers a comprehensive feature set often requiring additional work with other products. Optimal pricing may involve bundling with other Oracle products. The cloud offers more flexible pricing, but care is needed with virtualization.

Oracle SOA Suite Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Director of Tech and Consulting Services at Oriontax4.0In my experience with Oracle SOA Suite, it predominantly handles APIs and integration, though performance issues can arise as more solutions connect to it. Despite robust features, high licensing costs and lack of user training impact its effectiveness.
Architecture and Consulting at Synaptics Inc4.5I found Oracle SOA Suite, particularly its adapters, to be highly valuable for integration with various systems. However, the deployment process needs improvement, especially as many clients move to the cloud, necessitating better cloud integration features and a lightweight UI-based approach.
IT Specialist at Eagle Hills4.5We use Oracle SOA Suite for system integration and data synchronization, valuing its APIs, scheduling, and file transfer features. However, we seek enhancements in the human task feature, better cloud connectivity, and improved Microsoft Dynamics adapters.
Sr PHP Developer at GE3.0No summary available
IT Systems Director at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5I implemented system integrations using Oracle SOA Suite, appreciating its support and integration features. However, the cost is a concern, prompting us to consider alternatives like WSO2. The ROI is satisfactory, but we're transitioning to a microservice architecture eventually.
SAP MM Consultant at Applexus Technologies Inc.1.5Oracle SOA Suite offers transparency in finances, but it is challenging to use due to its complexity and difficulty in generating reports. Although the ROI is satisfactory, customers lack experience with competitors, making them content with the solution.
Team Lead Manager & Architect at Claro Dominicana4.5Our main use of Oracle SOA Suite is for integrating company-wide systems. The most valuable feature is the ability to use third-party services. I suggest improving by adopting microservices architecture to reduce the monolithic structure.
Senior Consultant at Sygno IT Services4.5I use Oracle SOA Suite for various web services like SOAP and REST due to its valuable features such as database access and message transformation. However, some components might be improved, as alternatives like Salesforce offer better options.
