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

"From a technical perspective, the interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"What's valuable is the ability to master the process in one location."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn, and integrating this solution with other technologies is not difficult."
"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."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"It's a consolidated product; it works and it does its job pretty well."
"The stability is excellent."
"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."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
 

Cons

"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."
"Some unknown errors will sometimes happen and the error message isn't clear."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"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."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."

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