Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Oracle Fusion is stable.""Data integrity.""The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""The scalability is good.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution.""One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part.""The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework.""Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."

"Tomcat has connectors like REST requests to connect the front end. Also, some parts of the inter-system communication go through REST. External connections with third parties occasionally involve both REST and SOAP protocols. Tomcat is versatile in accommodating these various communication methods.""The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features.""Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat.""The deployment process is very fast.""Tomcat is easy to handle, its installation process does not take much time, and its server speed is also very good compared to other servers.""The solution is readily available and open-source.""It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."

Cons
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises.""Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications.""The price could always be better.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"Technical support is limited.""Vulnerability is one of the areas that can be considered an issue in the solution.""I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier.""The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss.""Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better.""The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement.""The setup is complex and could be improved.""Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
