A simple and easy-to-use solution but not recommended for public apps
I would rate the overall solution a six out of ten. We have around five to six developers and engineers for the solution’s deployment and maintenance. You can use the solution if your website is not too big or complicated. However, if it is big and complicated, then you need to use Apache or Red Hat. This tool can be used for internal purposes. But if you plan to host a public app, then I wouldn’t recommend the tool.

Migration to a modern interface enhances AI integration and cloud capabilities
Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of IIS is easy. The process takes only five minutes."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The product is stable."
"IIS's most valuable feature is user-friendliness."
"The solution is highly reliable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"IIS works natively with Windows Server without any issues in publishing certificates."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."
"I rate Oracle Fusion Middleware as ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and stability need improvement."
"IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view."
"The only issue I've encountered is with certificates not working fine sometimes."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"IIS could improve by having some features related to ASR and HTTPS certificate generation."
"There is an issue with the network. The tool's price is also high."
"At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed with your Windows installation which makes it relatively cheap if you already have a Windows Server sitting around."
"The solution provides multiple licensing options."
"The product's price is not high."
"The tool's pricing is on a yearly basis."
"This solution comes included with Windows Server."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"The price is good."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
"We pay annually for the solution."
