Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers excellent stability.""ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all.""The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need.""The Messenger Broker is a really good feature.""SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

More Aurea CX Messenger Pros →

"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability.""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.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""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.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it.""This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA.""It performs better in real-time transactions."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"With SAP, you can trust what it tells you.""We can use different transaction codes to check the performance of the system, and if we are unable to access a particular transaction, we can still check the table to see what is happening.""The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution.""We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products.""The integration feature is valuable.""It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers.""SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."

Cons
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs""I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API.""It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

More Aurea CX Messenger Cons →

"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.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.""If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login.""Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable.""SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud.""Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve.""Has become somewhat unstable recently.""It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all.""The product documentation can be improved.""The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it.""SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
  • "You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
  • "The pricing is not so high."
  • More Aurea CX Messenger Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "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."
  • "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 pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
  • More Oracle SOA Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    CX Messenger lets your technology keep pace with your business. Aurea’s industry leading Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) lets you adapt and change your infrastructure with plug-and-play speed and ease.

    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.

    SAP NetWeaver is an open application platfrom that provides a comprehensive set of tools and Web services technologies that support seamless enterprise application integration, master data management (MDM), system integration, and more.
