We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"It is scalable."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The solution offers good security."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"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 web service development and cloud connectivity."
"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 integration with various products."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"Its stability could be better."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"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."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"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."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"SOA"
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
