Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use.""The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework.""Data integrity.""The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management.""Oracle Fusion is stable.""The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory.""The scalability is good."

"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers.""The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory.""The solution works well in load balancing.""It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers.""It's a scalable product.""Oracle WebLogic Server is secure.""We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster.""In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."

Cons
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises.""Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""The product should improve BPEL features.""The price could always be better.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic.""I can't point to anything missing.""Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything.""Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience.""In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually.""There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better.""The cost could always be lower.""The error handling area in Oracle WebLogic Server is an area of concern where improvements are required."
