Oracle Integration Cloud Service Reviews

The out-of-the-box adapters are the most valuable aspect of the solution.

It was easy to set up.

The solution is robust.

You can scale it as needed.

Technical support responds quickly.

The bulk processing needs improvement. When the data it needs to process is huge, then it does not work well, for example, when we're talking about gigabytes or terabytes. If data is received in this way, then this middleware doesn't work properly.

We would like to see more out-of-the-box adapters with different boundary applications.

The solution needs the support of more EDI protocols, like RosettaNet.

I have joined this organization recently. I joined eight months ago, and have used the solution since then. However, I'm not sure for how long the company has used it. 

The solution is robust and the stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. 

The solution can scale quite well.

Technical support is quite fast. We are happy with their level of response.

The initial setup is not difficult or complex. It's quite straightforward. 

How much maintenance is required after implementation depends on the number of integrations. For example, if there are 100 integrations, then around five people will be required to maintain everything.

We are implementors. We are able to deploy this product for our clients. 

The licensing costs need to be checked from the Oracle portal.

Typically, there is just a standard licensing fee.

We are the implementers of the product.

We are using the latest version of the product.

If a company is integrating this product with file-based integration, then it is very good. It provides good monitoring and tracking as well. B2B capabilities earlier were not there, however, now they are coming up with the B2B capabilities where EDI-related interfaces can be handled well. That said, bulk processing is still a challenge

I'd rate the product an eight out of ten.

My company implements this solution for our customers. The solution is typically used for any financial or supply chain implementation. We don't do it stand-alone; we typically do it with the Oracle ERP implementation. We use it to do all of the orchestration in and out of our ERP.

As a consulting firm, the biggest advantage is that it is a low-code platform. People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering.

There is a limitation with the file size that Oracle Integration Cloud Service can read and transform. If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle. In cases where we face that limitation, we have to use other solutions that can handle higher volumes. 

For each delivery, we use it in conjunction with Oracle OIC, which is another Oracle product, and they could make it easier for us to query the underlying data, at least with the Oracle tables. It is a tedious task and we have to write VIP reports and get that data via web services, so that is something that they can improve.

I have been working with this product for the past three and a half years. 

This product is definitely scalable. It suits enterprise companies and small companies. Day-to-day middleware users would not use this solution, just technical users on the IT team.

The solution doesn't require much setup. After provisioning, the instance is good to go as soon as the connections are set up. From the provisioning and setup perspective, it is pretty simple and easy.

It takes around one hour for us to provision the instance and start setting it up. Then, once we have the instance available, we can start configuring it as per our requirements. The product is deployed in the cloud. Oracle gives you flexibility for how you can host it, so it can be on your private network or on a public network. 

The price is fair. 

I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for integration with SAP, for its specs and factors and for integration with Oracle applications. 

Everything related to the mapping is valuable. It's visual, design-wise when compared to other solutions that I used to use. 

It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors. 

The solution is very user-friendly in terms of identifying the orchestration and targets, and associates when mapping.

The solution could benefit from using things like AI and machine learning. For example, with certain orchestration fails it would be helpful to look at them as a way to either terminate or re-issue or restart the whole process again.

Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release.

There are some default recommendations that shouldn't be done in some of the firewall integrations. At the end of the day, I don't use the product straight out of the box. Some of the finer integrations have problems like looping or standard patterns that we will have to integrate with Windows and Linux right away. 

It would be helpful if Oracle could provide one quick deployment method.

The solution needs to provide good oversight over the entire integration platform, with more analytic capabilities.

I've been using the solution for six years.

The solution is stable. However, they should allow for the deployment of multiple agents so that I can read and take one from another region if one region goes down. That way, it can fall back on another and there won't be any issues. Therefore, in terms of the product's capabilities, it's both there and not in terms of stability.

Although the solution is fairly easy to scale, we're using the latest version which is available on OCI, and scalability should be addressed. I believe Oracle is still working on this. At the moment I think, probably small, medium integrations are good. Bigger integrations could be developed, though availability and progressive recovery are not in place yet. We have about 7,000 people on the solution. Scalability is mission critical for us at this point. The entire company utilizes it and it is integrated with critical solutions like SAP and HTML output factors.

I'd say technical support is a little above average, however, it's something that Oracle could work to improve.

In terms of the initial setup, it's very easy. Only the deployment gets really complex. You have to write items in without correcting the integration with the Cloud. It's a bit challenging. It would be helpful if they allowed for an implementation where there's an ability to write some pieces, or Java scripts, which would be helpful.

We have a team of three people, who are actually looking after integrations and maintenance, and we have a partner who we rely on at times to add new functionality or design elements.

We mostly use the public cloud deployment model, but it depends on the requirements of the client.

I'd advise others that they need to be really clear on what integrations they need and the complexity of the integrations their client requires. As long as users identify the source target systems and the integration pattern that they would like to put in place, they will be fine. This needs to be the first step, so users may need a longer implementation phase. It would help provide a quicker outcome for them if they put the work in upfront. 

Those implementing the solution need to ensure they have the right partner with the right skillsets. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I use the solution for system integration with different applications.

The solution has helped our organization properly frame the integration with different platforms.

The solution provides efficient integration with multiple platforms.

They should include more integration for the solution with other platforms. Also, they should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes.

I have been using the solution since 2019.

The solution is stable and has a high availability.

The solution is scalable.

We have a support contract with Oracle. They offer good technical support.

The solution generates ROI for our organization.

The solution is expensive. But its excellent quality of integration makes it worth the buy.

The solution is excellent. I rate it a ten out of ten.

I work for a product-based company and all our projects are carried out in-house. I'm an architect and work as an IT technical lead.

The best features of this product are around the ease of building an integration, the ability to make changes, and management following development. 

I'd like to see features for more complex integrations that require different sources and destinations in an all-in-one integration. ICS is currently less flexible than SOAR and that could also be improved. The product also lacks options for writing code and logic and that's where the flexibility is lacking. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

We sometimes have downtime without any prior notice, but it doesn't happen often and lasts for a very short amount of time. 

The scalability is good. 

The technical support from Oracle is pretty good and has improved a lot in the last few years. 

The initial setup is easy and if you don't have a very complex integration, then it's a very good tool. 

Their licensing costs are very competitive, especially in comparison to integration tools like MuleSoft or IBM offer. The cost may seem high initially, but they offer good discounts.

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

We are using Oracle Integration Cloud Service to enhance application features. We have only started and we are going to do it one by one.

Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation.  

There are a few features that we noticed are not in the cloud. There are some improvements needed. One example is the graphical user interface that needs to improve, it could be easier to use.

I have been using Oracle Integration Cloud Service for approximately two years.

Since we have been using Oracle Integration Cloud Service we have not had any problems. I am not sure what the future will bring, but it has been great. AWS was down for a period of time and no one expected it. There were outages for Azure and Oracle cloud. We cannot predict the future, no one can be certain about the stability of these solutions.

We might see some interruptions in the future. They're doing a very good job because they're expanding their regions. Recently they opened three to four regions, Italy, India, and a few in the Middle East. I don't think there will be any scaling problems or availability problems in the future for Oracle. 

The solution is scalable.

For those who have Oracle on-premise, Oracle Cloud is the best solution because when we tried to migrate to Azure and Google cloud, we could not meet their expectations.

The native Oracle application can easily migrate to Oracle Cloud. If you're trying to migrate to AWS, Google, or Azure, we need a lot of effort and there are is a challenge to redesign everything. If it is a popular application, it is a bit tough to redesign applications to be compatible with Azure, Google, or AWS.  

I rate Oracle Integration Cloud Service a seven out of ten.

We are a solution provider and we integrate Oracle solutions for our customers. The Oracle Cloud Integration Cloud Service is one of the platforms that we are now working with, in collaboration with a local company.

The most valuable feature is the ease of customization.

The interface is user-friendly and easy to work with. There are only three of us in the company who are using it, and we are able to complete projects for enterprise-level customers. There is no need to hire between twenty and fifty people to get the job done.

Oracle integrates well with other products.

Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced.

Having more documentation about different use cases and test cases would be helpful when it comes to integration.

I have been working with Oracle products for more than ten years, but I have only been using this solution since last year. It has only been within the past six months that our customers started using the Integration Cloud Service.

It has been stable to this point, although we have not yet done our performance testing. This is something that is scheduled to take place within the coming month. All of our initial tests indicate that there are no big issues and we are happy with the stability.

Scalability has not yet been an issue for us in this project.

Within our group, there are three people who are using the product. Once it goes live, there will be a knowledge transfer to a group of support people. There are approximately eight to ten people in that group.

Some of the technology is still quite new, so we have run into some challenges. At this point, I would rate the support a five or six out of ten. There are some things that it takes Oracle a while to understand. Also, integration is a touchy point and it takes a while to get it sorted out. We did get it all up and running but it took time to make sure that it was stable.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. You've got the manuals and the guides to help.

For this client, we brought the initial system up in about half a day. However, because of client's business, we turned on certain security features and completed an end-to-end solution. This took about three days in total.

As consultants, we are overseeing the implementation of the whole project.

This is a good product and I recommend it. My advice to anybody who is implementing Oracle Integration Cloud Service is to attend oracle University for training or at least some seminars before getting started. It is best to have some level of preparation. There is a lot of planning and discussion that takes place prior to implementation.

Overall, we are pretty happy with the product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It is doing great. It has its own loopholes and that's where there is an opportunity for implementation partners like us. If the product was perfect, then probably there wouldn't be a place for implementation partners. So in fact, it's not the features that attract us, but the lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us, some room for custom implementation services. For example, the supply chain part of the solution is not completely available for the customer as a turnkey solution so we have a role to play in terms of integration into various solutions. But not all connectors are available. With Oracle Integration Cloud we have a role in terms of connecting to different applications. Also, not all features are there. Even if we are migrating Oracle on-premise, ERP, into Oracle ERP Cloud. So it's all Oracle, but still, there are holes that we need to plug in and that's where it leaves some opportunity for us.

It could be improved in the supply chain. I think some of these features are just available to their own consulting services, their own professional services arm. Not all features are available to the implementation partners. So especially the features that are related to leverage mission turning and artificial intelligence. They're still not available to the partners in reality. So in that case, if they make tools framework available for us, then we would give them an eight.

We have been working with Oracle Integration Cloud for three years.

They are a very good partner team so I don't think there are any areas of concern on that side.

I think they're quite flexible in their pricing. So it all depends on the statement of the customer at play so they're quite flexible in terms of pricing. That's what we found.

It works for basic stuff but if you're looking for a turnkey solution, Oracle Integration Cloud would not work. So it all depends on how heavily customized you are within the application that you already have. And there is no customization inside. You need an integration partner. That is well worth it. Your own customization has a license, Oracle Integration Cloud. I would rate Oracle Integration Cloud at a six on a scale out of ten.
