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 communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The main advantage of Oracle Service Bus is the possibility to integrate different systems using workflows and different architectures in the same product."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"Oracle Service Bus is a great tool for handling data and we use it to bridge the gap between the more modern technologies we have and our older technologies like mainframe."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"The solution is stable, very scalable, and the installation is quite straightforward, and we've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"For situations where they are many integration points, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud, this is a good solution."
"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."
"I have found the best feature are the administrative controls."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"This is a very, very expensive solution. It will cost a company a lot."
"The cost of the solution is too high. There are cheaper better solutions out there."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"Some unknown errors will sometimes happen and the error message isn't clear."
"The setup and onboarding process is hard, and it's made more difficult by a murky licensing process that needs to be clarified."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"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

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