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.
Manoj Satpathy - PeerSpot reviewer
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 solution is very stable. The solution is very simple and easy to use."
"The product is easy to use."
"The product is stable."
"IIS is useful for the deployment of web applications...Its stability is good."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment."
"The solution is highly reliable."
"The most valuable feature of IIS is that it's free, and it works."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"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."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"The security must be improved."
"Occasionally, we encounter performance issues with IIS where it becomes unresponsive and requires a solution restart."
"Performance-wise, certain improvements in IIS are needed...IIS is not scalable. Its scalability is less."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"IIS could improve by Microsoft Windows improving the update services. We would like to be able to update all systems that are connected. The WSA service has to be in good order to accomplish this."
"The solution's black box is not fast."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"SOA"
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed with your Windows installation which makes it relatively cheap if you already have a Windows Server sitting around."
"This solution comes included with Windows Server."
"IIS is expensive."
"The price is good."
"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."
"There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better."
"I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."
"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."
"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
"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."
"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
