Offers integration with many technologies for your applications but the suite should be simplified

We use Oracle SOA for teaching processes only. We have about forty users on the platform at a time I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite. You can use a lot of technologies. The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified. Currently, it is pretty difficult. We have…

Has enabled complex data flow management but faces limitations with modern integration needs

There are areas of Oracle SOA Suite I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future, particularly regarding its adapter capabilities. The popularity of Oracle Integration Cloud nowadays arises from its larger set of adapter capabilities, including numerous application adapters. In contrast, Oracle SOA Suite provides a limited number of adapters. I would like to see more REST-based features added to Oracle SOA Suite, currently lacking, along with an enhancement of file size or payload capability, as the existing limitation is a 10 MB payload size. Additionally, Oracle SOA Suite licensing cost tends to be higher, adhering to a fixed pricing model rather than a pay-per-use basis, which might not be suitable for smaller organizations.

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

Cons

"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop."

"The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor."

"As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution."

"The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified."

"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."

"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."

"The web services need to be more robust."

"It's also not developer-friendly."

"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."

"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."

"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an interesting solution, but only if you get a good price for it. Usually there are better options in the market with better prices."

"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."

"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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

"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."

"The product is moderately priced."

"Based on my knowledge, Oracle SOA Suite doesn't have user-based licensing. It has a system-based licensing model, so you pay for whole systems. Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution, so it's a four out of ten for me."

SOA Suite

Overview

SOA Cloud Service provides an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) so that you can quickly provision your new platform, start developing and deploying your APIs and integration projects and provide real-time analytics as you transition to Digital Business.

Oracle

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.
