Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is easy to use."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

Cons

"In terms of the area of improvement in the product, I would say that the way we design the services is very limited."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."

"The price is fair."

"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
