Oracle Integration Cloud Service Reviews

Oracle Fusion is an ERP, mainly focused on supply chain and finance, particularly with Fusion Cloud ERP.

Most of my large customers have multiple products in their system. When we implement Oracle Fusion ERP for middleware, we frequently use Oracle Integration Cloud Service. Many customers have different platforms to integrate with, such as Dell Boomi or other middleware. It's part of the ecosystem, and regarding Microsoft products, due to single sign-on requirements, we have to connect the workflows we build in Oracle Fusion with their Microsoft Exchange server for users to receive emails. These things are part and parcel of implementation.

I am intensively working with Oracle Integration Cloud Service and OCI both. We have customers where we perform lift and shift using Oracle Cloud infrastructures.

Oracle Integration Cloud Service is one aspect, but within the Fusion ERP applications, Oracle pre-delivers AI and JMI capabilities. Currently, the count is close to 100, with 70 more use cases Oracle plans to introduce. These are available, and we configure them for customers as applicable. It's in-built product capabilities.

The solution mainly focuses on automation of reconciliation processes and day-to-day tasks where manual efforts can be reduced through automation.

It is very easy to integrate, and the pre-built APIs available to connect multiple systems help establish connections faster and more accurately. Customers need not worry about data volume flow, and Oracle charges based on usage. Multiple packages are available, such as 10 million messages per annum, allowing customers to choose packages for optimum cost.

Oracle Integration Cloud Service makes it simple to connect any third-party products, and Oracle is key for adding pre-built APIs. For all major products, the APIs are available from Oracle itself.

The implementation is simple because sufficient documentation is available, and my team has developed expertise. We know precisely what needs to be done. Based on scenarios, customers can have everything within their channel.

We are migrating some interfaces from Axway to Oracle Integration Cloud Service. There are some pass-through interfaces wherein we receive data for application-to-application (A2A) file transfers within our organization. We initially used Axway, but because it is costly, we decided to migrate to a cloud-based solution, preferring Oracle Integration Cloud Service.

Oracle Integration Cloud Service is easy to use. Being an iPaaS, it offers all the features without needing to provision any hardware. It has built-in features available to establish connections with various SaaS providers like Salesforce. Additionally, it provides a wide variety of built-in adapters for many cloud providers, such as Azure Blob and AWS S3, which you can use for integration purposes.

We use the solution mainly for on-premises to cloud integration.

We mainly use the solution's ICS component. We use VBCS for building UI and PCS for Workflows. The combination of ICS/VBCS/PCS are used for PaaS extension.

Use cases are integrating between SaaS and other applications, Oracle SaaS and other applications, predominantly for payment gateways and various other vendor-related applications, and connectivity between Oracle SaaS applications and the Oracle Cloud.

In our customers' organizations, Oracle Integration Cloud Service mainly integrates their other applications with the Oracle Fusion stack. It's very handy in scenarios where they want to seamlessly maintain data flow between applications, with business tools and logic validations in place.

One of the most valuable features in our integration projects is the wide range of connectivity options. OIC has built-in adapters for almost every important product in the marketplace, allowing easy connections to various applications with minimal technical interference. It also connects well with databases, file services, and object storage. The error handling capabilities are good, with rich logging features and logging analytics, allowing proactive error monitoring and notifications.

In terms of measurable benefits, we've helped clients integrate about 50 applications from different geographies using OIC Service as an enterprise integration platform.

It isn't specifically for AI-driven projects; it does provide Integration Insights, which gives some predictive measures about the integrations that have run.

The solution should improve its support. 

I use the solution in my company to integrate with different applications.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool has out-of-the-box adapters. It has a list of adapters, like pre-built adapters, that can be used. The adapters are used for most of the renowned applications, and Oracle has built-in adapters, which can help to quickly connect with the services just like how Salesforce has adapters for some services that helps with quickly integration.

This can be an Oracle-agnostic tool; it does not have to be Oracle-specific; it can integrate any other tools as well. However, it is very useful for integrating other Oracle applications. 

It can easily integrate Oracle Financial Suite, Oracle CPQ, and any other Oracle products, for example. When working with Oracle, this is the unmistakable integration tool we recommend. 

This is also an autonomous one, self-service, which is fantastic. If you need more messaging capacity, you can add it on a self-service page in the public cloud. It does a variety of market standard adapters, such as SAP, Google, and Facebook, as well as DocuSign.

Coupa is a purchasing system that connects purchase invoices to our Oracle payables module. You may not know anything about Coupa, but if you have a Coupa adapter connection, you can drag and drop, and then you can simply get the Coupa connection. It will automatically connect to Coupa and pull data from it. 

Because it can easily connect to Oracle natively, it connects to Oracle and pushes data into Oracle. This is one of your use cases. You can also use Concur, which is an expensive product.

Another option is to transfer expense invoices from the Concur system to the Oracle payables model. It's the same thing back and forth; you can even push data from Oracle to Coupa if you need to send an acknowledgment.

The tool is generally useful for system integrations between different applications, like Oracle and non-Oracle tools, including Oracle SFDC. It is also useful for ERP solutions like SAP, Workday, NetSuite, EBS, and Oracle Cloud ERP Platform.

The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities, and we don't use Oracle PCS too much. To some extent, we use Oracle VBCS for extensions. I think we use the integrated SFTP server sometimes. From OIC, we mostly use the above-mentioned components.
