WSO2 Enterprise Integrator Valuable Features

Ritesh_Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Architect at Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything.

For example, there's a messaging connector for connecting to mail or SMS utilities. I just specify the server IP address, port, username, and password, and the connector has the relevant details. This helps with easy integration. My developer saves time as they don't need to write the whole module. Using the connector makes development faster.

The tool also provides a web-based tool, making it a no-code solution. I can use the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator GUI to design. I can specify which systems I'm using and define IP addresses and other details. It writes the code on the backend and handles the connectivity, simplifying the entire integration process.

I find the transformation and mediation capabilities useful. The basic transformation and mediation features are also available in the API manager. Most of the time, people need REST to SOAP and SOAP to REST conversions, which are available in the API manager.

We use the tool for more complex mediations. It's helpful for handling images or multipart transfers, like transferring large files or PDFs. However, in some cases, we've handled large file transfers differently. Instead of using multipart through it, we share the file as a link. The user clicks the link, and the big file opens in a different browser window.

It is only required for very complex setups when the use case can't be met with the normal API manager. That's when we go with advanced transformation and mediation.

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator has influenced cost savings and efficiency in my customers' projects. It decreases the development timeframe, which is the most important factor. Implementing things in a timely manner reduces costs on the implementation and project management side.

While we have to factor in some additional costs for subscription and support, the product gives us good advantages. The developers are more comfortable and able to do things faster with WSO2 Enterprise Integrator. However, it really depends on the business requirements. If the requirements are complex enough to need the tool, then we use it. We don't need WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for simple mediation and transformation requirements - we can use API Manager and some open-source code.

The product is necessary for very complex banking requirements or heavy requirements where a lot of these features are used. In most of our implementations, we've mainly used REST APIs provided by the customer. If there's a lot of SOAP involved, then some WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is definitely required.

I'm very satisfied with the performance. It's a very high-performance system. It requires very few cores and the license cost is reasonable. It's a very high-performing product. You can easily reach up to 1000 TPS with just a single or two-core license.

WSO2 API Manager can be described as one of the valuable features that is attached to WSO2 Enterprise Integrator.

Our company requires every feature in the product. The IDE, the development-related areas, some of the integrations with multiple applications, reporting, dashboards, APIs, and security are some of the areas in the product that are valuable for my company. Customers mostly want an end-to-end API-related solution. The customer wants the product to offer open-source protocols. I believe that WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is a part of an open-source community.

The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone. When we talk about MQ, we can save any type of message, such as a string or JSON, in the memory. 

The second thing is the compute node, which is useful for security purposes as it allows us to transform into other languages or call specific functions. It's very helpful for us.

Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things. Additionally, the integration studio has significantly improved since we first used it. So, the integration studio is good, and the rest of the features are quite similar. I don't think it's very different from any other ESB or EAI.

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator can standardize integration processes within organizations. Many customers rely on it for its robust standardization capabilities, making it a crucial component in their integration strategies.

The key feature of API management is conversion. This integration module facilitates tasks such as converting between various formats and connecting diverse data stores.

I haven't chosen the product, but my client has chosen it. I wouldn't say it's my favorite. My purpose is to enable integration between the front-end of user setup with the back-end data or business systems. Secondly, enabling integration with third parties or external applications.

WSO2 is investing in Gong and the enterprise industry, and they are also working on communication. WSO2 also enables integration between on-premise and cloud applications, which is better than their competitors.
