Offers integration with many technologies for your applications but the suite should be simplified
We use Oracle SOA for teaching processes only. We have about forty users on the platform at a time I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite. You can use a lot of technologies. The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified. Currently, it is pretty difficult. We have…

SAP NetWeaver is going to be soon out of the picture. Now we have SAP S/4HANA, which is the recent technology from SAP. Many companies are migrating from SAP NetWeaver to SAP S/4HANA. Going forward, SAP still supports SAP NetWeaver, and it can fully add more functionalities that it is currently adding in the latest versions also. Whichever functions they are adding newly in SAP S/4HANA, they can add it into SAP NetWeaver as so that SAP NetWeaver also does not become obsolete and becomes useful to the customers who are currently using it. SAP has come up with an in-memory database called HANA, and on top of it, SAP has introduced SAP S/4HANA so that it runs seamlessly on the HANA database. SAP NetWeaver can also run on the HANA database, but if the compatibility with HANA database could be improved for SAP NetWeaver, then it will be more useful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"​It automated the way we did system integrations. Now, information is available on different systems to the correct people.​"
"There are adapters which make it easier to build integrations between different technologies.​"
"I like the amount of technology that is involved in the Oracle SOA Suite; you can use a lot of technologies."
"We strongly rely on our SAP data; we need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP, which is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"With SAP, you can trust what it tells you."
"The most valuable feature would probably be that it's accurate in its historical data."
"The human capital management module is valuable."
"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."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"It is the central point for all our data storage, as we have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."
 

Cons

"​As PaaS solution in the cloud, it should be easy to maintain this solution."
"The system is very unstable, and any modifications to the server or in the application can make the whole system stop.​"
"The initial setup is complex. Many solutions out-of-the-box did not work as expected. The documentation provided Is particularly poor."
"The Oracle SOA Suite could be simplified. Currently, it is pretty difficult."
"We have had issues with the performance, and performance is key: We are limited by the number of instances running because it is at the end of service life. The product is not as scalable as we would like it to be."
"The initial setup was not very easy."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
"The setup process will be complex for any customer because they have to automate all their business processes fully into SAP NetWeaver."
"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​It is an interesting solution, but only if you get a good price for it. Usually there are better options in the market with better prices.​"
"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."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
