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.

Enables seamless integration with multiple systems

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

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 IIS is that it's free, and it works."

"The solution is easy to use, easy to maintain and isn't too technical."

"IIS has a very simple and user-friendly interface, which helps a lot in effective and efficient management."

"It's very easy to publish."

"The solution is highly reliable."

"The solution is simple and very easy to manage compared to Linux."

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

"IIS is scalable."

More IIS pros

"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."

"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."

"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."

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

"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."

"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 product provides transparency in finances."

"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

Cons

"It would be beneficial if you could automate security certificate monitoring with IIS."

"The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies."

"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."

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

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

"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment."

More IIS cons

"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."

"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."

"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."

"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."

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

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

"The product is not user-friendly."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."

"The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much."

"IIS's pricing is not expensive."

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

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

"The tool's pricing is on a yearly basis."

More IIS pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"The product is moderately priced."

SOA Suite

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.

Microsoft

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.
