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

"Its technical support is excellent."

"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."

"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."

"The solution is quite stable."

"The most valuable aspect of JBoss EAP is its support for clustering and load balancing, which is essential for our applications that serve multiple users simultaneously."

"It's convenient and barebone."

"I found the adapters to be most useful."

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

"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."

"The Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications."

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

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

"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."

"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."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

Cons

"A graphic user interface can be added."

"Lacks some functional requirements."

"This solution needs better management UI."

"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."

"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."

"Its architecture needs improvement."

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

"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."

"The web services need to be more robust."

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

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."

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

"The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I am not directly involved with the financial aspects, JBoss is known for its reasonable subscription pricing. Potential users should consider whether the cost aligns with their budget and requirements."

"It is an open-source solution."

"The solution is cost-effective."

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

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"The product is moderately priced."

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

SOA Suite

Overview

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) is an open source platform for modern Java applications deployed in any environment. JBoss EAPâs architecture is modular, and cloud ready. The platform offers powerful management and automation for greater developer productivity. It is based on the open source Wildfly project (formerly known as JBoss Application Server).

Red Hat

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.
