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.

Cons

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"Its function options can be improved."

"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."

"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."

"The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."

"The web services need to be more robust."

"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."

"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."

"The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"

"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."

"The product is moderately priced."

"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."

"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."

"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."

Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
