The total ranking of a product, represented by the bar length, is based on a weighted aggregate score.
The score is calculated as follows: The product with the highest count in each area gets the highest available score.
(20 points for Reviews; 16 points for Views, Comparisons, and Followers.)
Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in
that area. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product
with the most reviews then the product's score for reviews would be 20% (weighting factor) *
80% = 16. For Average Rating, the maximum score is 32 points awarded linearly based on our
rating scale of 1-10. If a product has fewer than ten reviews, the point contribution
for Average Rating is reduced (one-third reduction in points for products with 5-9 reviews;
two-thirds reduction for products with fewer than five reviews). Reviews that are more than 24 months old,
as well as those written by resellers, are completely excluded from the ranking algorithm.

We use it as middleware to interface between our financial application, which is JD Edwards, and the database, as well as to legacy systems. It serves a critical functionality of linking the applications together to provide us the data we need.What needs improvement?
The error reporting can be improved. When you get an email saying that something has gone wrong or something is not complete, it isn't very intuitive. It has to go to a very technical person to be able to tell you what actually the error is and what you need to know about it.Oracle

What do you think of Oracle SOA Suite?
Valuable Features The most valuable feature is its capability to integrate with a wide variety of other solutions. • Improvements to My Organization We have been able to automate a lot of manual processes for our invoicing. • Room for Improvement I’d like to see more integration with Salesforce. That's one thing that I think they're still in the inception phase. I think a more robust solution for Salesforce would be good. • Stability Issues It’s pretty robust and stable. • Scalability Issues One of the reasons why we went to Oracle SOA Suite is its ability to scale out to all the different platforms and technologies. I think it's doing pretty well. We have integrated with a couple vendors right now, and we plan to integrate another five or six in the pipeline. •...Oracle

What is most valuable?
It encompasses a lot of different apps. The key is that it combines a lot of commonly used apps, from a business perspective, for example, business logic implementation such as people or reporting. They made it lot easier. From a development perspective, the tools are pretty good.What needs improvement?
My one big improvement would be to make the ID tool that the developers use to develop a lot of these applications better. It could be more stable and the performance can be improved. As a developer, me and my team face the most challenges installing it. It's very memory intensive and it crashes a lot. They could definitely improve on that.Oracle

I guess connecting to any and every application. Different sources: it can be a file source, a database, a web service. It's a single source for integration.What needs improvement?
I think it has already improved quite a bit. At the system level, when you are running a website, it should be easier to diagnose the source of problems, for example, why the CPU is high, and make the error logs and log files easier to work with to find why an issue happens. Sometimes the Java can be a bit tricky to diagnose the actual problem. I think probably... more»Oracle

What do you think of Oracle SOA Suite?
Valuable Features Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable. • Improvements to My Organization It consolidates various other software applications into the one solution. • Room for Improvement The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge. The user interface needs to be less technical so that business analysts can utilize or develop their process, design their process more easily, without technical knowledge of how SOA Suite works. • Stability Issues We're using it for a minimum of it's capabilities, so no stability problems. But we have talked to various other people who said that when they deploy more components in SOA Suite, they run into more...Oracle

What do you think of Oracle SOA Cloud Service?
Primary Use Case In my company, we needed a system to integrate different systems. Some systems were on the cloud and other systems were on-premise. We chose Oracle SOA Cloud to build this integration. • Improvements to My Organization It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people. • Valuable Features The capacity to integrate between many different sources. There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies. • Room for Improvement As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution.
