Pros
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA.""The integration with various products.""Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.""We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering.""Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""Integration within the solution is very good.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature.

Cons
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue.""The installation and adjustment process seems too complex.""Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""Its function options can be improved.""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.""Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""Its functions need more stability.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

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."
  • More Oracle SOA Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price needs to be lowered."
  • "The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
  • "WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."

    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.
