Offers valuable features of API management and protocol definition
The initial setup process of Oracle Service Bus is quite easy. The installation of the product can be completed in one or two hours, but the total deployment time varies from case to case. I believe the entire deployment of Oracle Service Bus can be finished within a day. One engineer is enough to deploy the solution. The solution can be easily maintained.

Functional administrative controls, highly scalable, and reliable
ESB will connect in real-time data between the two systems. For example, for one of our customers, we implemented Salesforce and with an on-premises system but the account master data and project master data did not work together. As soon as it requests the information, I have to fix the data from the SAP on-premise with this solution. This is the use case for service and sales implementations. The solution has enabled us to be able to fix our data by combining the cloud and on-premises systems which has helped a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility offered by Oracle Service Bus, especially in the latest versions, includes abstracting underlying processes and enabling drag-and-drop mappings from source to destination."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"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."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"I have found the best feature are the administrative controls."
 

Cons

"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"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."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"This solution is running on the Eclipse platform and this is where all the designing takes place. The Eclipse performance should be improved. The Open Studio tool we have been using for the development is not up to the industry standard and the performance should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"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"
"This solution is less expensive than competitors."
