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 e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades.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

"On the whole, if you are looking for one product that is flexible, easy to use, and versatile for many different scenarios, then I would definitely recommend Oracle Fusion Middleware."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"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."
"All our customers agree, the HR business process execution is much easier and their lives have become better."
"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."
"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."
"I rate my overall experience with Oracle Fusion Middleware as nine out of ten points."
"The products offers EE support."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support needs to be improved."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"There could be improvements in the installation and integration parts of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The guides often have errors, such as web scripting issues, and can be difficult to follow."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component."
"I would like to see integration with MQ systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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