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

"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through different protocols."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"Oracle a good product."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"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."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It's a consolidated product; it works and it does its job pretty well."
"The installation process is easy."
 

Cons

"If you talk about the robustness of the product, TIBCO is better. The performance of TIBCO is better compared to Oracle."
"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."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The main inconvenience is the composition between services; if you have six or seven services you call in the same process, it's very difficult and that's the main issue."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"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 main problem could be related to timeout issues. This can happen due to legacy systems that might not allow the use of microservices."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
