What is Oracle SOA Suite?

Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deployand manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA).The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment andmanagement model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management.Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existingIT 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 supportfurther reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.

Featured Oracle SOA Suite reviews

MANOHAR SADDALA

IT Specialist at Eagle Hills

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

We use this solution for real-time and B2B BT is valuable. It performs better in real-time transactions, but BT is much more valuable. There needs to be separate guided learning for the usage of tools. It's also not developer-friendly. We have been using this solution for almost eight years,…

Valuable Features

"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The product provides transparency in finances."

Room for Improvement

"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing

Enterprise buyers evaluating Oracle SOA Suite should consider its moderate to high pricing. Licensing requires thorough planning, including estimating infrastructure needs and possible usage to optimize costs. Engaging an expert can ensure cost-effective licensing decisions. While not the cheapest option, it offers a comprehensive feature set often requiring additional work with other products. Optimal pricing may involve bundling with other Oracle products. The cloud offers more flexible pricing, but care is needed with virtualization.
