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…

Good for management and easily generate payslips at any point in time
We use NetWeaver for our appraisal process, the procedure for maybe benefits and emoluments. You can use it to generate your base leaves and other stuff. We mainly use it for human capital management or staff. Then we have a P2P, document signing, peer-to-peer. I've used those functions for a long…

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."
"The human capital management module is valuable."
"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."
"The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."
"We can use different transaction codes to check the performance of the system, and if we are unable to access a particular transaction, we can still check the table to see what is happening."
"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."
 

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."
"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"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 NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."
"The initial setup is a little complex. The users are not able to install the prerequisite drivers or are not able to follow the SOP because they don't have access to SAP Logon. If users already have access, it will take seven to 10 days to deploy the solution. If they do not, it may take a maximum of 25 to 30 days."
"Technical support response time was slow."
 

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.​"
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
