Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"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."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is a very stable product."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"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."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"Support is expensive."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
