Enables seamless integration with multiple systems

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It's not much more dynamic, not as dynamic as you may think, like seeing it in the cloud. In order to use it, you need to have the download servers and then scale up your systems. Oracle SOA Suites serves as a middle layer between applications. For example, let's say you have SAP, and we have Salesforce or Oracle ERP system. Users connect to those systems and perform certain activities or transactions on the applications. Now, if any data needs to be synchronized or any integration needs to happen between these applications, we use the Oracle SOA Suite. It acts as the bridge between the applications, not between the users. It's like having endpoints between the applications. Currently, we have 20 endpoints; 20 systems are connected to it, which is great. Oracle SOA Suite is being used daily. We are using it to its maximum potential.

"The product provides transparency in finances."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."

"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."

"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."

"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 product is not user-friendly."

"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

"There are sometimes issues with clusters."

"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."

"I think the support could be much better."

"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

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."

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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

"Technical support is very costly."

"Scaling is costly."

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

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.
