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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"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."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"It's definitely stable."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

Cons

"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The main inconvenience is the composition between services; if you have six or seven services you call in the same process, it's very difficult and that's the main issue."
"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."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"The cost of the solution is too high. There are cheaper better solutions out there."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."
