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 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."
"Its technical support is excellent."
"It's convenient and barebone."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"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 most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
 

Cons

"Its architecture needs improvement."
"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."
"Lacks some functional requirements."
"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."
"A graphic user interface can be added."
"This solution needs better management UI."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"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."
"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 interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"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 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 pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
"The product is moderately priced."
"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."
"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."
