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

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"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."
"SOA"
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
"The product is moderately priced."
"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."
"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
