Lightweight and efficient solution
It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Allows seamless integration and connectivity with different types of systems
I would suggest using this solution. Oracle Service Bus is very good. Any organization can use it. So it's very robust and scalable, and its security features are very good. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because there are some loopholes in service and support. Sometimes, when we have issues and go to Oracle support, they will not give us solutions. Instead, they will ask for so many log files and emails. The product is good, but the support is not.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"The main advantage of Oracle Service Bus is the possibility to integrate different systems using workflows and different architectures in the same product."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
 

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."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"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"
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
