MANOHAR SADDALA - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"The program is scalable."
"WebLogic Suite functions well for enterprise organizations that can manage its costs and resource demands."
"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."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
 

Cons

"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."
"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."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"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 think the support could be much better."
"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."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The content search is not easy."
"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
"The product is moderately priced."
"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
