An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
SAP Process Orchestration is used as a middleware for B2B and AI integrations. It serves as a standard middleware for SAP projects, facilitating data exchange between external partners or internal systems.  It is particularly beneficial in the defense industry for orchestrating logistics…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Provides various ways to secure services as well as providing extensive support."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
 

Cons

"In terms of the area of improvement in the product, I would say that the way we design the services is very limited."
"If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle."
"Dealing with the large file size has occasionally been a challenge."
"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective."
"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."
"The price is fair."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
