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.

Good for management and easily generate payslips at any point in time

We use NetWeaver for our appraisal process, the procedure for maybe benefits and emoluments. You can use it to generate your base leaves and other stuff. We mainly use it for human capital management or staff. Then we have a P2P, document signing, peer-to-peer. I've used those functions for a long…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."

"It performs better in real-time transactions."

"I found the adapters to be most useful."

"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."

"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."

"The product provides transparency in finances."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."

"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."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."

"Finance and distribution are the most important features."

"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."

"We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"The integration feature is valuable."

"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."

"The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More SAP NetWeaver pros

Cons

"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."

"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."

"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."

"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."

"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."

"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."

"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."

"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."

"The initial setup is a little complex. The users are not able to install the prerequisite drivers or are not able to follow the SOP because they don't have access to SAP Logon. If users already have access, it will take seven to 10 days to deploy the solution. If they do not, it may take a maximum of 25 to 30 days."

"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."

"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."

"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."

"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."

"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."

"It can always improve. It should have the ability to connect with other databases. It was a little bit tough to do that. I would like to have the ability to research certain markets and then integrate it with NetWeaver. I'd like to compare it with other databases from other companies being used in the world so we can integrate it with our own products to compare if we are still current on the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."

"It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

"This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

"The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."

"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's a very expensive solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."

"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."

Overview

Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
