Cons
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources.""In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times.""They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution.""The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration.""Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement.""Could be more user friendly.""Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there.""The solution’s pricing could be improved."

More Microsoft System Center Cons →

"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""Its function options can be improved.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""The web services need to be more robust.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service.""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.""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We maximized our license investment."
  • "It's rolled into our enterprise subscription. The entire subscription is around $25,000 a year, however, that covers all the products that we use."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "Microsoft System Center is quite expensive."
  • "I know that sometimes there is some reduction in the prices of Microsoft System Center because of the costs of Microsoft SQL Server, which can be advantageous."
  • More Microsoft System Center 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."

    Overview
    System Center helps customers realize the benefits of the Microsoft Cloud Platform by delivering unified management. Experience fast time-to-value with out-of-the-box monitoring, provisioning, configuration, automation, protection and self-service.

    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.
