Offers integration with many technologies for your applications but the suite should be simplified

We use Oracle SOA for teaching processes only. We have about forty users on the platform at a time I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite. You can use a lot of technologies. The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified. Currently, it is pretty difficult. We have…

Enables seamless integration with multiple systems

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite."

"There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies."

"It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people."

"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."

"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."

"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."

"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."

"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."

"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."

"The product provides transparency in finances."

Cons

"As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution."

"The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified."

"The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor."

"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop."

"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."

"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."

"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."

"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."

"It's also not developer-friendly."

"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."

"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an interesting solution, but only if you get a good price for it. Usually there are better options in the market with better prices."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."

"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."

"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."

"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."

"The product is moderately priced."

"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

SOA Suite

Overview

SOA Cloud Service provides an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) so that you can quickly provision your new platform, start developing and deploying your APIs and integration projects and provide real-time analytics as you transition to Digital Business.

Oracle

Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
