Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The scalability of the solution is okay. It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format. | 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. We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering. The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time. 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. |
Cons | |
The solution overall could be simplified. Everything is too complex. The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is. | 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. The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
IBM products are generally more stable and have more features, but also come at a greater cost. | This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view. It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be. |

Overview | |
| WebSphere Message Broker is an enterprise service bus (ESB) providing connectivity and universal data transformation for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and non-SOA environments. It allows businesses of any size to eliminate point-to-point connections and batch processing regardless of platform, protocol or data format. | 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.
