We made all our system integrations on Oracle SOA Suite.
Oracle SOA Suite improved my organization through system integration. My organization didn't have a way to integrate systems in the past, so the solution has helped the organization through integrations.
What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature.
An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower. My company even thought about moving to an open-source product, WSO2, but decided that microservice architecture would be best for the company's architectural approach and use cases, such as building systems.
I've been using Oracle SOA Suite for fifteen years now.
Stability-wise, I'd rate Oracle SOA Suite as nine out of ten. Sometimes my company has some problems with stability, but the solution is mostly pretty stable.
I didn't have any problems scaling Oracle SOA Suite, so it's a ten out of ten for me, scalability-wise.
I found Oracle SOA Suite technical support good, so I'd rate it a seven. I remembered cases that various persons were handling. For example, one support person was finishing up on the case, but then the other support person was starting on it, and the knowledge of the case wasn't that good, and that was a critical case, so I can't give a higher rating for support.
We're moving away from Oracle SOA Suite and will eventually use microservice architecture.
The initial setup for Oracle SOA Suite is seven out of ten.
Oracle SOA Suite was deployed long ago, and I wasn't with the company when it was deployed.
My company's ROI from Oracle SOA Suite is not bad because the solution works. If I were to rate it ROI-wise, it would be a seven.
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. My company is switching to another solution because of the cost, but there's no additional cost associated with Oracle SOA Suite except for the standard fees.
My company uses Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), particularly Oracle SOA Suite. My company will replace it with a microservices solution, but not for some time.
I'm using an up-to-date version of Oracle SOA Suite.
Within the company, about two thousand people use the solution. Mainly end users with some admins. Any user of systems integrated via Oracle SOA Suite probably uses the solution as well.
About eight people handle the deployment and maintenance of Oracle SOA Suite, though not dedicated to just this solution or task.
I'd tell anyone looking into Oracle SOA Suite that, technically, it's a pretty good solution and has knowledgeable support. It's just its cost that needs improvement, so it would be wise to look at alternatives. Oracle SOA Suite is also pretty old technology if you compare it with other solutions, so my company is trying to move to a different kind of architecture, the microservices.
My rating for Oracle SOA Suite is seven out of ten.
