Integration experience improves operational efficiency and automation
It is very easy to integrate, and the pre-built APIs available to connect multiple systems help establish connections faster and more accurately. Customers need not worry about data volume flow, and Oracle charges based on usage. Multiple packages are available, such as 10 million messages per annum, allowing customers to choose packages for optimum cost. Oracle Integration Cloud Service makes it simple to connect any third-party products, and Oracle is key for adding pre-built APIs. For all major products, the APIs are available from Oracle itself. The implementation is simple because sufficient documentation is available, and my team has developed expertise. We know precisely what needs to be done. Based on scenarios, customers can have everything within their channel.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of Oracle Integration Cloud Service was easy."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We mainly use the solution's ICS component."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of customization."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"There are many functionalities. Fundamentally, it provides all the ready-to-use services for consumption between SaaS and other applications."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
 

Cons

"One area requiring improvement involves multi-tenancy scenarios, as no customers operate on a single cloud."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
"The solution should improve its support."
"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"
"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."
"The solution is expensive."
"Dealing with the large file size has occasionally been a challenge."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"The price is fair."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
