We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution.""The scalability is good.""It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable.""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 initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory.""The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades.""Data integrity."

Cons
"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.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly.""One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms.""The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed.""Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications.""Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."
