Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier. Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process. | Internal workflow approval around ESS and MSS leave days, capex approval as well as internal communication to the business have improved the way my organization functions. Workflow functionality and internal portal capabilities are the most important features. |
Cons | |
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. The installation and adjustment process seems too complex. | External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement. Due to our business, some setups were very complex. We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
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. | SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive. |

Overview | |
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. For more information on Oracle SOA Suite, visit Oracle.com | SAP Enterprise Portal allows to create attractive corporate portals that leverage the responsive SAP Fiori launchpad experience. The portal is the Web front-end component for SAP NetWeaver, the comprehensive integration and application platform that facilitates the alignment of people, information, and business processes across organizational and technical boundaries. It's ideal for organizations who require access to many applications and services across system landscapes, especially across JAVA and ABAP-based landscapes. The portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services, in and outside your organization. The portal can be accessed from desktops and from mobile devices, it can provide with the tools to manage and analyze its information resources, and to share and collaborate. With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables users - from employees and customers to partners and suppliers - to focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes. The technology and architecture of the portal ensures it is built for the enterprise, providing a secure and scalable environment. |
