We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and Oracle SOA 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."Microsoft .NET Framework reduces the cost of entry and enables the development of applications with mature and enterprise features, thereby lowering the entry barriers."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"The new .NET Core has those middlewares, which are awesome from a security standpoint. With the old Framework or the newer Framework, middleware is basically an event pipeline. You configure and register it, and it handles things centrally. A simple example is logging. With the old Framework, you needed to try/catch blocks everywhere. Here, you configure the logging handler once, and it captures exceptions across the application. I really like the middleware pattern."
"The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
"The product has a good interface and easy-to-use programming language."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"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 most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"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."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"The learning curve could be improved."
"You need to have the technical expertise to use this product."
"The product could have a better framework for application development."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Needs stronger security with respect to cloud issues."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"Improvements are needed in .NET development, particularly in a backend scenario."
"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."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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 solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."
"SOA"
"The web services need to be more robust."
