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

"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Overall, the solution is quite good and has lots of great features."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Even though we had been using Oracle BPEL, we had to go with Oracle Service Bus because it is able to handle JSON inputs, and we were amazed by its flexibility in accepting incoming messages."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"The flexibility offered by Oracle Service Bus, especially in the latest versions, includes abstracting underlying processes and enabling drag-and-drop mappings from source to destination."
"In summary, this is a very complete product and it works well for us."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn, and integrating this solution with other technologies is not difficult."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"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 learning curve for this solution is very good."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
 

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."
"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."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The microservices portion of Oracle Service Bus needs some improvement. Compared to MuleSoft, MuleSoft is much easier to use and deploy than what is currently available in Oracle Service Bus."
"If you talk about the robustness of the product, TIBCO is better. The performance of TIBCO is better compared to Oracle."
"The technical support for this solution is not very good."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"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 integration capabilities need to be improved."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
