Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time…

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 e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades.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 product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"This solution has improved the way our organization functions because it does the issuing of BOs, purchasing orders, purchasing requests, and we monitor the cost for projects on it, and we use it for making the payroll for employees."
"Data integrity."
"I rate my overall experience with Oracle Fusion Middleware as nine out of ten points."
"All our customers agree, the HR business process execution is much easier and their lives have become better."
"The scalability is good."
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"We can advise any enterprise organization to use this product because you can trust this product."
"The solution is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"The price could always be better."
"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."
"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."
"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."
"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."
"The solution's technical support needs to 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
