Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering.""The integration with various products.""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.""The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements.""It performs better in real-time transactions."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

More Oracle WebCenter Pros →

"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work.""WebLogic Suite is scalable.""The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution.""What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support.""The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used.""The product is reliable.""Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale.""The solution is useful for centralizing data."

Cons
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex.""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""The web services need to be more robust.""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""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.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"Its functions need more stability.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

More Oracle WebCenter Cons →

"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product.""Lacking a solution for smaller applications.""Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward.""The support is not good.""I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten.""I think the support could be much better.""Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "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 product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    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.
