Lightweight and efficient solution

It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Provides good performance and error handling, but its initial setup is complex and could be improved

We use Oracle SOA Suite for application integration in our company. We were using the on-premises version of the product. Since Oracle SOA Suite has its own engine, you can build your integrations, deploy, and use them. We used the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for Orchestration when we had a lot of business logic. Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Oracle VPN come under the Oracle SOA integration platform. Compared to other solutions like SnapLogic, Oracle SOA Suite is not easy to use. Oracle SOA Suite is suitable for customers with a big complex integration process, where performance and infrastructure stability are more important. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."

"The product provides transparency in finances."

"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."

"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."

"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."

"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."

"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."

Cons

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."

"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."

"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."

"Its function options can be improved."

"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."

"The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"The pricing is not so high."

"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."

"The product is moderately priced."

"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."

"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."

Overview

CX Messenger lets your technology keep pace with your business. Aurea’s industry leading Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) lets you adapt and change your infrastructure with plug-and-play speed and ease.

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