We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""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 solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.""The product provides transparency in finances.""The integration with various products.""Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier.""What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature.""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."

Cons
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower.""The product is not user-friendly.""Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA.""The web services need to be more robust.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."

"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities.""External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement.""The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly.""Due to our business, some setups were very complex.""Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations."

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."

  • "​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
  • "Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
  • "The cost of this solution is high."

    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.
