We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
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."
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.
