Bridging legacy and modern technologies effectively but microservices functionality needs enhancement
Since it is Oracle, it excels in data management, data backups, and anything related to data. Oracle Service Bus is a great tool for handling data. We use Oracle Service Bus to bridge the gap between the more modern technologies we have and our older technologies like mainframe. It is similar to a microservices architecture. We are working towards adopting that, and Oracle Service Bus is one of our tools.

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

"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The stability is excellent."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus. Cloud hosting is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Service Bus."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"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 server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
