Highly valuable, stable, and bug-free
I mainly use the product for hosting websites, content delivery, and virtual hosting I have been using  Apache to host my clients' web-based applications on the Internet for many years. Throughout this time, Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without…

Useful proxy services, flexible, and reliable
I am using Oracle SOA Suite to do different web services. For example, web service Type SOAP and REST Oracle SOA Suite has been beneficial for my organization because it enables us to consume other services and access databases to transfer data. It also allows us to receive messages from web…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Web Server can be used as a proxy server"
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
 

Cons

"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"Its function options can be improved."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"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."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing cost for the product."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"The apache software is free, open-source."
"It is an open-source solution."
"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
"Based on my knowledge, Oracle SOA Suite doesn't have user-based licensing. It has a system-based licensing model, so you pay for whole systems. Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution, so it's a four out of ten for me."
"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
"The product is moderately priced."
