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…

Enables seamless integration with multiple systems

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite."

"It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people."

"There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."

"The Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications."

"It performs better in real-time transactions."

"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."

"The integration with various products."

"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."

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."

"The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified."

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

"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."

"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."

"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."

"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."

"The web services need to be more robust."

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

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

"Its function options can be improved."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

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."

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

"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."

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

"The product is moderately priced."

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.
