Featured Reviews

Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides various ways to secure services as well as providing extensive support."
"The initial setup of Oracle Integration Cloud Service was easy."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is easy to use."
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The OIC is very good."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The solution is stable."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
 

Cons

"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"The solution should improve its support."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve file handling. Currently, our real-time file polling limitation is 10 MB, if that size can be increased it would be helpful. For example, increasing the size from 10 MB to 1 GB."
"Make it more similar to the on-premises features. For example, if you can edit the code directly rather than just dragging and dropping, or if you can edit the examples by going into the background, and one-click migration, I'd like to see included in the next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"I have faced situations where the solution has gone down for five to seven minutes, which is an issue if it happens in the live production environment."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
