We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite 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."I found the adapters to be most useful."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration 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."
"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."
"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 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."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The program is scalable."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"This is a robust solution."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"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."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
