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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"It is stable."
"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."
"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."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"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."
"There could be more automation included."
"We encountered delays with the tool."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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