We performed a comparison between IBM WebSphere Message Broker and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good integration."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"The installation configuration is quite difficult."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
