Pros
"Apache Web Server is free of cost.""The solution offers good security.""Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours.""The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly.""It is scalable.""Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product.""The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too.""The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities.""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.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""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.""The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers.""Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability.""I found the adapters to be most useful.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."

Cons
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system.""Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch.""In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization.""Lacks integration with some cloud solutions.""Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement.""The product's initial setup process could be easier for users.""The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management.""For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."

More Apache Web Server Cons →

"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.""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 web services need to be more robust.""Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""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.""SOA"

    Overview

    The Apache HTTP Server Project was founded in 1995 by a group of webmasters, known as The Apache Group, with the aim of developing robust, richly-featured, freely-available and commercial-standard Web (HTTP) server source code. The result was Apache Web Server or Apache HTTP Server, which is an open-source public-domain web server.

    This collaborative project has been enhanced ever since with contributions from the core development team and other volunteers situated all over the globe. Also, hundreds of users of this open-source web server have contributed code, ideas, and documentation. The project falls under The Apache Software Foundation, which manages many open-source projects.

    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.
