We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite, WebLogic Suite, and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"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."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"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."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"The program is scalable."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"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 support is not good."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"I think the support could be much better."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"The content search is not easy."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
