We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework 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 web development and Microsoft Windows service development capabilities are among the most valuable features offered by the Microsoft .NET Framework. This language platform is highly user-friendly, with plenty of online examples and information available, as well as a robust development environment."
"The product has a good interface and easy-to-use programming language."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"The addition of generics to handle common functionality across types, and the more recent upgrade of the dataset to the Entity Framework, has cut development time drastically, while increasing quality and confidence between builds."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"The tool offers a lot of support, and there is a lot of knowledge material available, along with a lot of community groups."
"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."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"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."
"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"Difficult to scale this product for large organizations."
"I would like more web integration."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the memory for better performance."
"The integration capability of the product with AI is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product’s reliability needs improvement."
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"SOA"
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"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."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
