Easy to use with flexible pricing, but needs more flexibility surrounding integrations
The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems. I'm not sure if it is possible, however, we would like to see features that allow for legacy systems so that they can continue to be developed and managed well. The solution should provide some more general studio features. We should be able to manipulate the platform in order to do some integrations on our own. There needs to be a bit more flexibility.

Allows seamless integration and connectivity with different types of systems
I would suggest using this solution. Oracle Service Bus is very good. Any organization can use it. So it's very robust and scalable, and its security features are very good. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because there are some loopholes in service and support. Sometimes, when we have issues and go to Oracle support, they will not give us solutions. Instead, they will ask for so many log files and emails. The product is good, but the support is not.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The solution integrates external systems by providing a lot of APIs for external transactions, such as open purchase orders and sales orders."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
 

Cons

"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"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."
"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"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."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
