We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"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 product provides transparency in finances."
"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"This is a robust solution."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"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 interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The support is not good."
"The content search is not easy."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
