Lightweight and efficient solution

It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Manager at Cognizant

Has enabled complex data flow management but faces limitations with modern integration needs

There are areas of Oracle SOA Suite I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future, particularly regarding its adapter capabilities. The popularity of Oracle Integration Cloud nowadays arises from its larger set of adapter capabilities, including numerous application adapters. In contrast, Oracle SOA Suite provides a limited number of adapters. I would like to see more REST-based features added to Oracle SOA Suite, currently lacking, along with an enhancement of file size or payload capability, as the existing limitation is a 10 MB payload size. Additionally, Oracle SOA Suite licensing cost tends to be higher, adhering to a fixed pricing model rather than a pay-per-use basis, which might not be suitable for smaller organizations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."

"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."

"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."

"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."

"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."

"The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."

"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"The web services need to be more robust."

"SOA"

"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."

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

"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."

"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."

"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

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

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

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

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"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."

"The product is moderately priced."

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

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.
