Oracle SOA Suite Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Reviews & Insights

Oracle's Business Activity Monitoring tool is used to track the real-time data. We are utilizing it to address the business problem to monitor the track of sales by region along with the leads generated by each user. It helps managing the back office operations as well.

BAM is well suited for tracking the real time sales and making decisions very quickly if there are any bottlenecks. In our scenario, if there were more leads generated [then] we would need more staff in back office to process those leads. So, we were quickly able to align resources and achieve targets and provide great customer service.

We have oracle service bus to proxy and server more than 200 endpoints. We mostly proxy many legacy systems that expose their functionality as a SOAP web service. We have also built full-fledged services which also are providers and not just consumers. It's not used across the organization.

Oracle service bus is great to quickly proxy any legacy services exposed as soap service. It's well suited for aggregating multiple services on a single endpoint. We can point to multiple endpoints on the business service and use a round-robin approach to access the endpoints.

It's not well suited for data transformation and quick preview of mappings and transformations. It's not great on path to cloud transformation.

My Organization is a consulting firm and I implement Oracle Service Bus (OSB) at various end customer and I use it by myself as well.

This is an integration tool to provide a pipe to integrate between applications. OSB follows Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). OSB is very popular for virtualization requirement. OSB's components like Proxy Service and Business Service made virtualization easy. OSB addresses Integration and virtualization by a single tool.

OSB is a great tool and works well for both Integration and virtualization. Now OSB is available on the cloud as part of SOACS. The customer has a choice either to go with a cloud version or an on-premise version. There is another newer cloud-based integration platform (iPaaS) called Oracle Integration Cloud. OSB may not be the best fit for Bulk and batch integration as well as for complex integration/orchestration.
