Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable.""The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management.""The scalability is good.""The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades.""The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""Oracle Fusion is stable.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution.""One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."

"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand.""Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient.""In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server.""Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications.""We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster.""WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development.""We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well.""The solution works well in load balancing."

Cons
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly.""An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises.""The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed.""The price could always be better.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""The product should improve BPEL features.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive.""Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues.""They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature.""The ticket-raising process is very time-consuming""If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge.""The cost could always be lower.""Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it.""In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
