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

"Oracle a good product."
"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."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn, and integrating this solution with other technologies is not difficult."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The features on offer are very complete; it's a very good product overall."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"From a technical perspective, the interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"It has improved our time management because development is quicker."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"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 productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
 

Cons

"With the most recent version, 12c, I'm still getting used to using it, learning how to use it, how to configure it. The Oracle documentation is OK, but there aren’t a lot of good examples for me to follow."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"If you talk about the robustness of the product, TIBCO is better. The performance of TIBCO is better compared to Oracle."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"What needs improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the connectivity between adapters such as the Salesforce adapter and database adapters. The limited number of adapters compatible with Oracle Service Bus makes you want to switch to a different solution."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"For simpler tasks or simpler use cases, we avoid using WSO2 Enterprise Integrator because it is quite complex."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

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."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"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 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 open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
