Oracle SOA Suite Room for Improvement

MANOHAR SADDALA - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Specialist at Eagle Hills

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. Human tasks involve workflows where users can provide inputs to the process integrations. So I would like to see improvements and expanded features for human tasks.

In future releases, I would like to see improved connectivity with cloud applications and better adapters. Specifically, we need better adapters for Microsoft Dynamics, as we currently lack inbuilt adapters for that system. So, I like to have improved connectivity with cloud apps.

The features we've been installing are really, really robust. The only challenge that we have down here is that most individuals have not improved so much. But the features are quite mature. The only tenant is that they would not have enough knowledge to be able to interact with those features and integrate them with their systems. So, to improve other than the training or the performance of those that are using the package.

Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, in time, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA.

Also, licensing is another area of improvement. It seems to be a high cost, especially for our customers. So that is something that we might look at improving.

An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower. My company even thought about moving to an open-source product, WSO2, but decided that microservice architecture would be best for the company's architectural approach and use cases, such as building systems.

The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven. The add-ons and tools for deployment need to be improved. Patches should also be improved. Most of our clients are heading towards the cloud.

The cloud integration features need to be improved. Almost most of the integration solutions are UI based. Those are very lightweight solutions, whereas SOA Suite is heavyweight. The product should become more lightweight, and it should be UI based.

The solution can be improved by creating a lightweight product that can provide persistence features. Additionally, they can include function upgrades in the next release that will offer custom functions like a zip file and encoding.

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.

I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.
Try to convert more in microservices and be less monolith than it is, because at this time it is more monolith than microservice.

The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved. A big challenge for Oracle SOA Suite is that you don't get too many technical resources.

Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce.

There needs to be separate guided learning for the usage of tools. It's also not developer-friendly.

The product is not user-friendly. It is very complicated. It is very hard to get the reports.

The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.
