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…
Awa Sri - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers valuable features of API management and protocol definition
The initial setup process of Oracle Service Bus is quite easy. The installation of the product can be completed in one or two hours, but the total deployment time varies from case to case. I believe the entire deployment of Oracle Service Bus can be finished within a day. One engineer is enough to deploy the solution. The solution can be easily maintained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"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 is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations."
 

Cons

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"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 solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"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."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"The main problem could be related to timeout issues. This can happen due to legacy systems that might not allow the use of microservices."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"The pricing is not so high."
"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"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."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
