Oracle SOA Suite Reviews

It's to provide access to other solutions that we can handle or solve. Clients may have other entities that they would have to use Azure as well as the VPN. Even going further and having the service migrated to ensure that they continue to see it on-site.

Predominantly accepting APIs. The other API platform. We find that most of the customers are not running Oracle solutions, but they'd want to be able to connect with the IT agent in the software to integrate because that's in the SOA and have, like, an integration.

BPEL is a component of SOA Suite. The use cases are almost the same for both products. Most of the solutions are implemented in SOA Suite with BPEL.

I found the adapters to be most useful. The adapters make it easy to connect with the end systems. The product has an adapter if we want to connect with Oracle Applications. The product also provides adapters to connect with application adapters like SAP, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft. These features are available in 11g. 

In 12c, Oracle has also provided cloud adapters. For SOAP, they have provided SOAP Adapter and REST Adapter. It is a very good product. I do not see any alternate product for Oracle SOA Suite. The product is very useful, and it provides many integration solutions to multiple customers for their business needs.

We use Oracle SOA Suite to integrate between systems and ensure data synchronization.

Oracle SOA Suite is a powerful product that allows us to connect with multiple systems. This enables smooth and timely data flow. So it improves the way data flows in our organization.

Sysadmin and DBA for our internal SOA Suite solution development and an implementer at various customer sites.

SOA Suite allows legacy applications to be connected to new applications using an intuitive interface. This defines workflows which are triggered based on various criteria and events. This enables our customers to switch from polled events or scheduled actions to triggered micro batches. It enables the freshest data to be available across all the various systems. It also is a building block of many packaged applications from Oracel such as Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracel Banking Platform, Oracel Insurance platform Etc.

We use this solution for real-time and B2B.

BT is valuable. It performs better in real-time transactions, but BT is much more valuable.

1. Easy to install and configure SOA 12c development environment by using SOA 12c new Quick Start Installer. There is no need to think of creating a database to store repository of SOA to use this particular installer. It is now possible to install and configure an environment for a developer under 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Number of changes in Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control with redesign of SOA dashboards to focus on consolidated view of faults and issues in system. It helps in troubleshooting and health check of a SOA system.
3. Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) is newly introduced in SOA 12c. It helps to schedule SOA components or services and manages the complete lifecycle of a job. It is now possible to schedule activation or deactivation of pooling adapters at specified time to optimize performance of system in peak hours.

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.

There are many facets to this product, but we have primarily been making use of SCA, BPEL, Mediators, and JMS, along with a number of extension products. We are expecting to make extensive use of several other aspects of the SOA (and its containing WebLogic server) in the near future, specifically OSB and Coherence.

It has allowed us to build integrations using an enterprise-class platform. It has also meant that we have been able to purchase prebuilt integrations from Oracle for their products, meaning we have been able to focus largely on our own solutions.

It should be noted, and we have proven with our own experience, that to really get good value out of the product you need to have some good development approaches, as well as knowledgeable people on the team because middleware is very easy to do badly, and then it becomes an impediment. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

With the availability of Maven the adoption of Continous Integration can be really driven fowards.
