Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable feature of Microsoft System Center is its GUI (graphical user interface)."
"The detail in the alarms is great."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"The installation process is easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"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."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"Its function options can be improved."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"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."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"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."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
