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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"The main advantage of Oracle Service Bus is the possibility to integrate different systems using workflows and different architectures in the same product."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"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."
"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."
"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."
"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."
"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."
 

Cons

"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"The main problem could be related to timeout issues. This can happen due to legacy systems that might not allow the use of microservices."
"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."
"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."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"There could be more automation included."
"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."
"We encountered delays with the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
