We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite, WebLogic Suite, and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"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 integration with various products."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The program is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"The product is reliable."
"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 adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"It's easy to use."
"The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."
"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 web services need to be more robust."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"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."
"The content search is not easy."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The support is not good."
"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."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
