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

"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"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."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring feature, where we can track the web's UI development."
"For situations where they are many integration points, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud, this is a good solution."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

Cons

"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."

"Some unknown errors will sometimes happen and the error message isn't clear."
"This is a very, very expensive solution. It will cost a company a lot."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
