Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​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 like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite."

More Oracle SOA Cloud Service Pros →

"I found the adapters to be most useful.""Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability.""We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable.""The product provides transparency in finances.""The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.""The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products.""The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution.""It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers.""We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The integration feature is valuable.""The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit.""What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices."

More SAP NetWeaver Pros →

Cons
"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop.​""​As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution.""The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified.""The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor."

More Oracle SOA Cloud Service Cons →

"It's also not developer-friendly.""Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""Its function options can be improved.""The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge.""I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""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.""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."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all.""It can always improve. It should have the ability to connect with other databases. It was a little bit tough to do that. I would like to have the ability to research certain markets and then integrate it with NetWeaver. I'd like to compare it with other databases from other companies being used in the world so we can integrate it with our own products to compare if we are still current on the market.""SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes.""The initial setup was not very easy.""Technical support response time was slow.""The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it.""SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver.""Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."

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.​"
  • More Oracle SOA Cloud Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
  • More Oracle SOA Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

    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 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.

    SAP NetWeaver is an open application platfrom that provides a comprehensive set of tools and Web services technologies that support seamless enterprise application integration, master data management (MDM), system integration, and more.
