Provides High Reliability and Data Security
• Data in the datahub refreshes nightly. As the data only refreshes once every day, it is necessary to have to wait for any changes to thesource systems to become available.The daily refresh can be extremely useful for reconciling data. • DataHub only displays details of current members of the Organization. So it has much limited data available for generation of dynamic reports. • DataHub is volatile. The records are completely re-loaded each day. It puts burden on the system. • There are very few summary tables available due to storage of data in a detailed format. • The detailed information is not stored in the DataHub. It is stored in the relevant source system. Only commonly required data is stored within the DataHub.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All staff members and users can request an account which can be accessed from all PCs on the company’s network."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
 

Cons

"DataHub is volatile; the records are completely re-loaded each day, which puts a burden on the system."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"For simpler tasks or simpler use cases, we avoid using WSO2 Enterprise Integrator because it is quite complex."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
