Offers integration with many technologies for your applications but the suite should be simplified
We use Oracle SOA for teaching processes only. We have about forty users on the platform at a time I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite. You can use a lot of technologies. The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified. Currently, it is pretty difficult. We have…

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

"I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite."
"There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies.​"
"​It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people.​"
"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."
"The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
 

Cons

"​As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution."
"The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor."
"The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified."
"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop.​"
"SOA"
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"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."
"Its function options can be improved."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​It is an interesting solution, but only if you get a good price for it. Usually there are better options in the market with better prices.​"
"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."
"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
"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."
"The product is moderately priced."
"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
