"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup process is complex for basic users."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
