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

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

"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."

"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."

"It performs better in real-time transactions."

"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"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."

More Oracle SOA Suite pros

"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."

"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."

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

"What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices."

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

"The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step."

"The integration feature is valuable."

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

More SAP NetWeaver pros

Cons

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

"SOA"

"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 solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."

"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."

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

"It's also not developer-friendly."

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

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

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

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

"Has become somewhat unstable recently."

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

"It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all."

"Technical support response time was slow."

"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it."

"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."

More SAP NetWeaver cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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

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

"The product is moderately priced."

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

"It's a very expensive solution."

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

"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"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."

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.
