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 solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"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."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"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."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"SOA"
"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."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"The solution can be quicker."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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."
"The main area that Zend needs to improve is to support asynchronous programming tasks, which is facilitated in PHP 7, but not at the same degree as HHVM."
"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."
"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."
