Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""The Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications.""The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable.""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.""Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability.""Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."

"What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices.""The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step.""The solution is scalable.""The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten.""It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers.""The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution.""With SAP, you can trust what it tells you.""SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."

Cons
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""It's also not developer-friendly.""An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower.""The product is not user-friendly.""The installation and adjustment process seems too complex.""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."

"Has become somewhat unstable recently.""The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it.""The product documentation can be improved.""It can always improve. It should have the ability to connect with other databases. It was a little bit tough to do that. I would like to have the ability to research certain markets and then integrate it with NetWeaver. I'd like to compare it with other databases from other companies being used in the world so we can integrate it with our own products to compare if we are still current on the market.""Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve.""SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around.""SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes.""There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.
    Top Answer:The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved. A big challenge for Oracle SOA Suite is that you don't get too many technical resources.
    Top Answer:The human capital management module is valuable.
    Top Answer:Software and hardware costs are typically handled by separate departments.
    Top Answer:It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all. In interacting with it, it should have a more customizable interface. The interfaces aren't user-friendly, so… more »

    Overview

    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.
