Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house.""When you use NGINX, you have more options and power.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure.""The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites.""Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency.""NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps.""​The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable.​""I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."

"The product provides transparency in finances.""I found the adapters to be most useful.""The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information.""In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them.""The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.""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."

"It integrates well with other solutions.""It easily connects to other Oracle products and services.""The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services.""What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support.""The solution is useful for centralizing data.""WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments.""This is a robust solution.""The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."

More WebLogic Suite Pros →

Cons
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks.""The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. ​""If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. ​""The scalability could be improved.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge.""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.""If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit.""I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.""I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service.""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 →

"There are sometimes issues with clusters.""The content search is not easy.""The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application.""I think the support could be much better.""Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters.""The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product.""The support is not good."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Nginx is free. I don't have experience with the Plus version."
  • "I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."
  • "​NGINX Plus is worth it, if you need it. If you do not need the features or support, the free and open source package is more than capable. ​"
  • "​NGINX is a free tool in Brazil. There are some companies which do support it.​"
  • "The price is the cost to contract support with a specialized company, usually during consulting hours.​"
  • "Compared to other similar solutions on the market, I think it's over-priced."

  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.

    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.
