Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers excellent stability.""SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required.""The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need.""ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all.""The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"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.""Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable.""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 product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""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.""Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering.""I found the adapters to be most useful."

"The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step.""What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices.""I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running.""It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products.""It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers.""The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten.""With SAP, you can trust what it tells you.""The solution is scalable."

Cons
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs""You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API.""The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

More Aurea CX Messenger Cons →

"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""The installation and adjustment process seems too complex.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service.""An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower.""It's also not developer-friendly.""The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge.""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."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it.""The product documentation can be improved.""SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver.""Technical support response time was slow.""It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all.""Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve.""Has become somewhat unstable recently.""SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
  • "You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
  • "The pricing is not so high."
  • More Aurea CX Messenger 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 →

  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
  • "SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

    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.

    SAP NetWeaver is an open application platfrom that provides a comprehensive set of tools and Web services technologies that support seamless enterprise application integration, master data management (MDM), system integration, and more.
