VikramSingh6 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Husni Milhem - PeerSpot reviewer
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 solution is easy to use, easy to maintain and isn't too technical."
"The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy."
"We use the solution for our customer's web applications."
"IIS is scalable."
"IIS's most valuable feature is user-friendliness."
"The solution is the easiest way to publish applications which have been designed by older development tools."
"The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites."
"The most valuable feature of IIS is that it's free, and it works."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion is stable."
"Data integrity."
"I rate Oracle Fusion Middleware as ten out of ten."
"The scalability is good."
 

Cons

"We'd like future versions to be more stable."
"This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster."
"We've never had any issues with the solution, but it's still nice to have overall improvements on it. It could be easier and faster to use, for example."
"The solution is slow and could have better performance."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"Sometimes if you are using IIS in large-scale scenarios, meaning that if you are deploying an application within IIS service and you are expecting a large number of users to use this application, you can sometimes find some problems, meaning that the service can shut down by itself unexpectedly if you don't configure your IIS with the correct configuration that can handle this number of users."
"The level of technical support the solution offers could be improved."
"The price of the solution could be less to improve."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better."
"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."
"The solution provides multiple licensing options."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The cost for IIS is already included in Windows services. We don't have to pay anything extra."
"IIS's pricing is reasonable."
"The price is good."
"IIS's pricing is not expensive."
"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"We pay annually for the solution."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
