A simple and easy-to-use solution but not recommended for public apps

I would rate the overall solution a six out of ten. We have around five to six developers and engineers for the solution’s deployment and maintenance. You can use the solution if your website is not too big or complicated. However, if it is big and complicated, then you need to use Apache or Red Hat. This tool can be used for internal purposes. But if you plan to host a public app, then I wouldn’t recommend the tool.

Maintains top database performance and includes a very good ATB feature

Technical support is helpful. They have a good support bot for handling items so most case response times are fast. Support is aware and responsive but it takes time for them to resolve issues. Our whole enterprise is in the cloud and uses this application. It is a high priority to close any issues. We need an immediate response with resolution within two to three days. Support sends a lot of templates to fill in based on the priority or escalation. Completing templates takes time, particularly with the bot. The support process definitely needs improvement so technical support is rated 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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and easy to understand."

"IIS's best features are its management console and stability."

"IIS is easy to configure in terms of websites and other solutions."

"The initial setup is simple."

"The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites."

"This is definitely a stable solution."

"The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft."

"The interface, simplicity, and ease of management are all good features that make this user-friendly."

More IIS pros

"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."

"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."

"Data integrity."

"The scalability is good."

"Oracle Fusion is stable."

"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."

"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

Cons

"The solution's black box is not fast."

"This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster."

"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."

"The cost is a bit too high."

"At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved."

"The user interface could be improved."

"In the next release, the tool should be more easily integrated and configured with other provisions. The pricing should also be made cheaper since it's very expensive now."

"The documentation is not very detailed. They need to improve it and add to it. They should ensure there are lots of visuals to help users better understand the solution."

More IIS cons

"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."

"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."

"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."

"The price could always be better."

"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."

"The product should improve BPEL features."

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."

"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required for the product as it is role-based. Whenever you go for a Windows platform server, the role has to be installed directly from the server manager. There is no additional cost that has to be paid for that. It is free to use."

"There is no license needed to use the solution."

"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."

"IIS is expensive."

"IIS comes along with an OS license from Microsoft. Others can opt for a perpetual-based licensing model to be able to use the system."

"There is a license needed for the solution."

"Users can get a subscription-based license or a perpetual license for IIS."

"I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."

More IIS pricing and cost advice

"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."

"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."

"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

"We pay annually for the solution."

"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."

"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
