An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

TIBCO BusinessWorks is used as middleware for us I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions. The palette offers a wide range of activities, making it easy to configure and drop activities into the solution. I haven't encountered any drawbacks with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"The out-of-box integration between Oracle and SAP is really beneficial"
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"Good performance and reliability."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
 

Cons

"If an inbound file is larger than one GB, it cannot be transformed within Oracle."
"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"In terms of the area of improvement in the product, I would say that the way we design the services is very limited."
"The solution should improve its support."
"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."
"The solution is expensive."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."
"The price is fair."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
