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.

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

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

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

"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."

"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."

"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."

"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."

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

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

More Oracle SOA Suite cons

"I think the support could be much better."

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

"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."

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."

"The content search is not easy."

"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."

"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."

"The support is not good."

More WebLogic Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The product is moderately priced."

"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."

"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."

"Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

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

"Scaling is costly."

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

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

"Technical support is very costly."

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.
