Featured Reviews

Radhey Rajput - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows seamless integration and connectivity with different types of systems
I would suggest using this solution. Oracle Service Bus is very good. Any organization can use it. So it's very robust and scalable, and its security features are very good. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because there are some loopholes in service and support. Sometimes, when we have issues and go to Oracle support, they will not give us solutions. Instead, they will ask for so many log files and emails. The product is good, but the support is not.

Helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications
I use the solution for integrations.  Workday Business Process Framework helps in automation.  The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications.  We encountered delays with the tool.  I have been working with the product for ten years.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."
"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."
"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."
 

Cons

"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"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."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"We encountered delays with the tool."
"There could be more automation included."
"Since it's not a core LMS platform but a module in an HCM platform, if they bring in more personalization aspects from an admin perspective for us to build to give user experience, that would be great."
"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I find it reasonably priced, even for startups. The cost is minimal and depends on what features you want to add. Workday allows customization and personalization, and it operates like a cloud solution, making it affordable as long as you know what you need."
