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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"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."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"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'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 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."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Even though we had been using Oracle BPEL, we had to go with Oracle Service Bus because it is able to handle JSON inputs, and we were amazed by its flexibility in accepting incoming messages."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn, and integrating this solution with other technologies is not difficult."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"Oracle a good product."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"Overall, the solution is quite good and has lots of great features."
 

Cons

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"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."
"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."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"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."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus. Cloud hosting is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Service Bus."
"The main inconvenience is the composition between services; if you have six or seven services you call in the same process, it's very difficult and that's the main issue."
"The setup and onboarding process is hard, and it's made more difficult by a murky licensing process that needs to be clarified."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"What needs improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the connectivity between adapters such as the Salesforce adapter and database adapters. The limited number of adapters compatible with Oracle Service Bus makes you want to switch to a different solution."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
 

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'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"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."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
