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."We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"Many processes could be implemented out-of-the-box, and this helped to adopt processes in areas which we lacked."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"The availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"Good for managing and administering the infrastructure."
"Managment Packs for Microsoft-specific products, help us implement the best practices for each product."
"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."
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"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."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration."
"Could be more user friendly."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"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."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"Its function options can be improved."
"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."
"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."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
