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

"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."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"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."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"The error-handling capability can be improved"

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
