Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people.​""I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite.""There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies.​"

More Oracle SOA Cloud Service Pros →

"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""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.""Valuable features include connectors and BAM.""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 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.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it.""The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit.""The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""We can use different transaction codes to check the performance of the system, and if we are unable to access a particular transaction, we can still check the table to see what is happening.""I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running.""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.""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.""We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

Cons
"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop.​""The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor.""​As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution.""The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified."

More Oracle SOA Cloud Service Cons →

"It's also not developer-friendly.""The product is not user-friendly.""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""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.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"The initial setup was not very easy.""Has become somewhat unstable recently.""Technical support response time was slow.""The product documentation can be improved.""Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement.""SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP.""SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes.""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 is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
  • More Oracle SOA Suite Pricing and Cost Advice →

    Overview

    SOA Cloud Service provides an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) so that you can quickly provision your new platform, start developing and deploying your APIs and integration projects and provide real-time analytics as you transition to Digital Business.

    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.
