Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time…

Migration to a modern interface enhances AI integration and cloud capabilities
Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"This solution has improved the way our organization functions because it does the issuing of BOs, purchasing orders, purchasing requests, and we monitor the cost for projects on it, and we use it for making the payroll for employees."
"I rate my overall experience with Oracle Fusion Middleware as nine out of ten points."
"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."
"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"It's like an umbrella under which we're using a group of products."
"The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"The solution's technical support needs to be improved."
"The main improvement must be made on the user interface."
"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."
"The price could always be better."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
