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…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

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

"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 offers excellent stability."

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

"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."

"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."

"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."

"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."

"The Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications."

"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."

"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."

"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

"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"

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

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

"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."

"Its function options can be improved."

"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."

"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."

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

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

"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."

"The product is not user-friendly."

"The web services need to be more robust."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

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"

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The product is moderately priced."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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.
