Scalable and easy to maintain
One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."
"The solution's stability is excellent; it's one of the best features, and we haven't experienced any bugs or glitches that have affected its performance."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"Before this, there was a separate front-end software setup for different departments in the organization, which is now clubbed together and provides a single platform for all departments functioning on different business aspects."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"Easy to deploy new services."
"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"My advice to anyone considering Aurea CX Messenger is just try it; from my experience, it is very easy to deploy, very easy to develop and to implement in production."
"Fully functional interfaces and web services are up in hours, not days, so we spend more time designing XSD than setting up the service."
"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."
"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."
"Fiorano offers multiple adaptors for various interface languages, making it easy to cater to a variety of interfaces."
"It has vastly improved the speed of delivery for custom integrations."
"One of the most valuable features is the scalability, because whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale, and we can actually use specific servers for specific stuff, such as implementing one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API, which is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."
"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."
 

Cons

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."
"The 2015 version was a nightmare at the beginning compared with 2013 version."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"Another issue, which again, I'm not aware if they already have because we have not updated to the latest version, but all the DevOps features would be nice to have because right now they are using their own deployment features."
"Error descriptions are not user friendly."
"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."
"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."
"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."
"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
