Oracle Fusion Middleware Reviews

Previously, I used Oracle e-Business Suite, however, I later upgraded to Oracle Fusion. I am comfortable with the product features, UI, and price, and I continue with the same product.

Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. 

In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.

Our company uses the solution to enhance our SaaS product and ensure full implementation of the ERV. Once you start automating and processing, you sometimes find gaps because SaaS does not include everything. We build our extensions in the solution and integrate them directly with Oracle Fusion which is our ERV and Saas product. 

We currently have 20,000 users because every department and every employee has access to the solution. 

The ATB is a very good database feature. 

The service subscription maintains top performance for administrators and the database. 

The AI and machine learning is very beneficial. 

The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time. There are no hardware requirements. 

The user interface allows you to configure without having to use the console. 

Our primary use case is for integrations. 

The transformations, the use cases of MFT, Oracle MFT, and then the Oracle cloud, and everything. The availability of the services and all are the most valuable features. 

I am using the solution to study and have not yet used it on a production level. I integrate components such as other Oracle products and the public cloud. I also use the solution on the virtual side to try different approaches. I use the on-premises version but my company also has the public cloud version. 

Here in Botswana, we are still lagging behind in technology. People are still in the dark about the cloud so it will take some time. It is important to learn and Oracle provides free cloud training. I am leveraging the training opportunities so that I get good experience. 

We have 500 users at our company. We specialize in tax regulation and administer the taxes for the country. There are quite a number of departments who use the solution including HR and payroll. When the need arrives, we can easily scale up. 

The solution's main benefit is its convenience. Other OEMs can take quite some time to deploy. With the solution, a bit of knowledge allows you to easily deploy without any issues.

We have a SaaS-based Oracle CRM application. To integrate with the back office systems, from on-prem to cloud, we are using Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle ESB. There is also a component called MFT that is used to transfer files. We also have an iPaaS environment. We have Oracle Integration Cloud to build integrations to interact with SaaS applications.

One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part. OSB is lightweight and stateless where you need orchestration, message transformation, etc. It's good.

Another good thing is that it comes with a lot of adapters for various products. You don't have to write code to build these adaptors. They are all just configurable adapters. They have FTP, database, file, and other types of adapters. There are also external adapters with the OIC for Salesforce, AWS S3, etc. It comes with all these adapters.

I use Oracle Fusion Middleware to integrate different applications, especially between Oracle ERP and data warehouses for analytics purposes. We also use it to configure BI and ODI servers. Its main purpose for us is integration between applications.

The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications.

In our organization, Oracle Fusion Middleware serves as a versatile solution, seamlessly integrating Business Intelligence for analytics, Data Integration for diverse data collection, Identity Access Management for managing user rights, WebCenter Portal for aggregating human workload information, VPN servers for secure data, and content management for public data. It also supports our web applications and provides file storage capabilities.

The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management. The servers operate seamlessly, and the robust core database technology supports our applications effectively, including features like the HTTP server and access management. 

We use Oracle Identity Management in the middle of all systems. We get the information from Human Resources. We provision the production systems and the users get reviews. 

We currently have 200+ Oracle databases, 60+ Microsoft databases, and other applications for a total of 500+ systems.

Oracle Fusion Middleware doesn't change our organization in any way. With Oracle Identity Management, we deployed the product according to the needs of the organization for a worst-case scenario.
