It allows you to deal with any mediation situation based on messages using concepts like proxy services and APIs.

The Data Services Server is a beautiful product which allows you to "expose" your data as REST and/or SOAP services secured or not using any of the databases you might to keep your business data. Using with the Identity server it gives you the possibility to manage all the identity subjects in your Organization, it connects out of the box to any corporate user store you have through LDAP or JDBC, it allows you to manage different mechanisms to implement authentication / authorization using Web SSO, SAML2, OAUTH2, federated authentication, among others. Also, it allows you to control all this through its administrative interface which could be exposed out of the box as SOAP services and also you can use it to implement role based access controls using XACML policies and business claims.

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"Easy to deploy new services."

"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."

"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."

More Aurea CX Messenger pros

"The Enterprise Service Bus is really fast and flexible, it allows you to deal with any mediation situation based on messages using concepts like proxy services, APIs, and it has lots of connectors that facilitates its interaction with other products."

Cons

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"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."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"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"

"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."

"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."

"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."

More Aurea CX Messenger cons

"In a general sense, the documentation of these products should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
