Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

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 most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"It's definitely stable."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The features on offer are very complete; it's a very good product overall."
"In summary, this is a very complete product and it works well for us."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
 

Cons

"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"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."
"The logging and error-handling framework can be improved."
"The setup and onboarding process is hard, and it's made more difficult by a murky licensing process that needs to be clarified."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"If you talk about the robustness of the product, TIBCO is better. The performance of TIBCO is better compared to Oracle."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
