Featured Reviews

Arun Andavar Nagarajan - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates well , reasonably priced, feature-rich, and has helpful technical support
In terms of improvement, debugging and error handling, Oracle can be much more user-friendly on this, because clients must provide a much more error handling framework, which is a monitoring framework, that is much better. The current one has some level of monitoring, but then there are retrying mechanisms, automatically retrying mechanisms and error recovery mechanisms. Those things need to be greatly improved; they have something, but it is very basic. The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful. Resilience can be enhanced. The migration flow has to improve. They have some kind of agent connecting with the on-premise systems. We need to simplify the process of connecting with non-cloud applications. If you have to connect to some servers from this cloud to non-cloud, that is a bit of a hassle. They now have something called an agent for those, but they can simplify it, and the error frameworks can be implemented much more effectively.
Rohit Sircar - PeerSpot reviewer
Great automation and strong workflows useful for integration
The initial setup is quite straightforward. When connecting Workato with your on-premises system, you have to install the Workato agent on your network. It was not complex but a long process to configure and settle. Workato has not gone live for us yet, so only the developers are currently using it. But in terms of users, we will have close to 250 and maybe 30 additional direct users. We are seeing a lot of different use cases where we can add new recipes because we started small, and there are many different areas where we can implement Workato for automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to build an integration and make changes to it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
"In our customers' organizations, Oracle Integration Cloud Service mainly integrates their other applications with the Oracle Fusion stack. It's very handy in scenarios where they want to seamlessly maintain data flow between applications, with business tools and logic validations in place."
"The product's initial setup phase is the best since we don't have to do anything. There is nothing like where you need to do some kind of scaling or capacity planning."
"The lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us"
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
 

Cons

"With JSON, if the tool provides support similar to XML, then it would be helpful."
"I have faced situations where the solution has gone down for five to seven minutes, which is an issue if it happens in the live production environment."
"Oracle needs to ensure that some of the most commonly used types of consumption or services are bundled—for every industry."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve file handling. Currently, our real-time file polling limitation is 10 MB, if that size can be increased it would be helpful. For example, increasing the size from 10 MB to 1 GB."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"The price is fair."
"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."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
