I'd say they have been successful with a lot of their acquisitions: BEA, PeopleSoft, Seibel, and many more. Also, I think they have been a better steward of Java than Solaris had been since Java 6.

Sun (the company), not Solaris (the OS). But yeah, Java has done relatively well.

All our clients (some with massive deployments for the time) dropped Weblogic and other BEA products the moment of the acquisition. Where did they do well?

Who is using BEA software now? How is Siebel faring against SFDC? (I honestly don't know, wishing to have nothing to do with either.)

Peoplesoft was pretty entrenched when Oracle bought it, and the state of other options in that field remains pretty grim.
