We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite and Zend PHP Engine 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 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."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"The integration with various products."
"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 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."
"It offers good support for various types of classes, along with many open source libraries that we can readily utilize in our application development process. This gives us a lot of options when it comes to custom development solutions, without having to worry about licensing or other programming-related issues."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The cache modules that Zend provides have been able to optimize and accelerate the loading of the pages when there was exponential growth in data volume and quantity of requests. At the same time, the monitoring console allowed us to have a real-time understanding of the resources and to make decisions when they were at the limit."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"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 installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"SOA"
"Its function options can be improved."
"The solution can be quicker."
"In terms of improvement, it doesn't support concurrent processing. When we want to process anything on a concurrent basis, we have to divide it into a number of things, like a queue, or we have to run it using Cron jobs. We would like to have the capability to run any thread or process in parallel."
"Although it offers a complete environment to develop and deploy PHP applications, it has some limitations. For example, when the volume of data increased exponentially, I had problems scaling the system."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
"Integration of MVC with ORM tools for PHP is okay, but lacking a short list of decent ORM tools for PHP to choose from; there is ample room for improvement in both areas."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
