MANOHAR SADDALA - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless integration with multiple systems
I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

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 is its knowledge."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The solution offers high performance."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"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 product provides transparency in finances."
"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."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."
 

Cons

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"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."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
"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 product is moderately priced."
"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."
