Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing.""The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions.""This solution has everything.""Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing).""Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility.""The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent.""The product is lightweight and fast.""Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."

More NGINX Plus Pros →

"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable.""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.""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 product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""I found the adapters to be most useful.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""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."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

More Oracle WebCenter Pros →

Cons
"The scalability could be improved.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing.""I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks.""I would like the configuration process to be more simplified.""If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. ​""NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5.""Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""It's also not developer-friendly.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""Its function options can be improved.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service.""The product is not user-friendly."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""Its functions need more stability.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Nginx is free. I don't have experience with the Plus version."
  • "I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."
  • "​NGINX Plus is worth it, if you need it. If you do not need the features or support, the free and open source package is more than capable. ​"
  • "​NGINX is a free tool in Brazil. There are some companies which do support it.​"
  • "The price is the cost to contract support with a specialized company, usually during consulting hours.​"
  • "Compared to other similar solutions on the market, I think it's over-priced."

  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

    Overview

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.

    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.

It connects people, processes, and information with the most complete portfolio of portal, content management, Web experience management, and collaboration technologies.
