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.

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

"It is a lightweight web host that is easy to configure for simple webpages."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"The solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."

"The product is flexible."

"The product's most valuable features are performance and security."

"The tool shows us the operating systems where our servers and applications are running."

"The solution has been reliable."

"Microsoft's technical support has always been very good."

More IIS pros

"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."

"The product provides transparency in finances."

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

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

"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 solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."

"The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information."

"The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."

"IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view."

"If Microsoft IIS could work well with AppOptics or things like PHP, Python, and other custom languages that run on the webserver, it would be ideal. I think there are cases where people need to use Apache instead of IIS when IIS doesn't work well with other web languages."

"The graphical user interface has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."

"The security must be improved."

"The solution's scalability needs improvement."

"Finding different settings can be difficult if you don't know where to look."

"Compared to Linux, the solution’s Windows patching is slower. I would like to improve it."

More IIS cons

"SOA"

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

"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."

"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."

"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."

"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."

"It's also not developer-friendly."

"The product is not user-friendly."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution comes included with Windows Server."

"I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."

"The product's price is not high."

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

"The yearly licensing cost is very high. The solution is very expensive."

"The solution provides multiple licensing options."

"I didn't need to get an additional license for the solution since it was included in my server."

"The price of the cloud system is a bit high."

More IIS pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"The product is moderately priced."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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

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

Overview

Internet Information Services (IIS) provides a secure, easy-to-manage, modular and extensible platform for reliably hosting websites, services and applications. With IIS, you get choice and control without giving up reliability or security.

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.
