CEO at Exact Holding NV
Governance has streamlined service registry usage but deployment and integration still need work
I work with GraphQL, REST API, and SOAP services as well. API Connect works with GraphQL and can deploy GraphQL services. I also work with GraphQL in Software AG webMethods API Gateway. I'm working with DataPower. I have experience with IBM API Gateway, API Connect, Event Stream, and App Connect, the Cloud platform integration. I didn't involve DataPower with BPM before. I have used the webMethods API Gateway. I have used an open-source framework that is not a product for a specific vendor. I work with GraphQL in three different products: API Connect, the API Gateway of the webMethods Software AG, and the Java Spring framework. I work with CentraSite and also work with the Integration Server, webMethods Integration Server, and Universal Messaging. The governance is powerful. I can recommend CentraSite for any industry working with service registry and repositories. I would rate it eight out of ten. I have seven years of experience with IBM solutions and rate them nine or ten out of ten. I have one year of experience with webMethods and rate it eight out of ten. I have five years of experience with other solutions. The overall review rating for this product is seven.
Debjit Ghosh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The governance is powerful, and you can look up services very easily, which may reduce some development cycle time."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"I would recommend the solution to anyone who wants stable, scalable, very versatile, and resilient, integration software."
"It's a good suite of products designed to implement an SOA architecture."
"Oracle offered by far a better SOA solution."
"It is a very good ESB if your team has JEE knowledge."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"With the integration platform in place, it is easier and quicker to make the integrations they need."
"Cost-wise it is a very economical option because I don't have to hire separate iOS developers and Android developers."
 

Cons

"The setup is mild. It's not so simple and not very difficult. You can make it happen with some configuration, but it's not easy for non-professional people."
"Although the SOA Suite solutions integrate well with Oracle Fusion middleware products, it lacks similar integration with Enterprise Manager."
"Nevertheless, the stability when used with JDeveloper needs improvement."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"It should provide better log management and an easier tool for configuration."
"The platform historically has had stability issues with every new release."
"The resiliency of this application can have problems with a downstream system, sometimes it's unable to recover quickly."
"The biggest challenge is getting useful information to troubleshoot when something goes wrong."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
