Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"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."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
