We performed a comparison between Oracle Service Bus and Red Hat Fuse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"It is stable."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"The support training that comes with the product is amazing."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business."
"The features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse are the OSB framework, containerization, and the integration of Apache technologies such as the NQ channel, CXF, etc. These are the features that are very prominent in the solution. Red Hat Fuse also offers flexibility, so it's another valuable characteristic of the solution."
"The initial setup process is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the software development environment."
"One of the features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse is that it has a lot of containers so you won't have to worry about load balancing. In the past, there was a cut-off, but nowadays, Red Hat Fuse is moving off of that, so my team is utilizing it the most for load balancing, particularly running goal applications and three to five containers. There's automatic load balancing so you won't have to worry too much. I also found that component-wise, you don't have to do much coding in Red Hat Fuse because everything is configurable, for example, XML-based coding. Coding isn't that difficult. Performance-wise, I also found the solution to be quite good and its processing is quite fast. My team is processing a huge amount of data with the help of Red Hat Fuse."
"Red Hat Fuse's best features are that it's very easy to set up and maintain."
"We usually had used PowerCenter for master data integration (by replication). But in some cases, it was better to use Fuse for providing the master data online. It doesn't make it necessary to replicate data."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."
"Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications."
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had."
"The monitoring experience should be better."
"What needs to be improved in Red Hat Fuse is on the development side because when you use it for development purposes, it lacks a user interface compared to what MuleSoft has, so it's a bit difficult for users."
"The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation."
"As its learning curve is quite steep, developer dependency will always be there in the case of a Red Hat Fuse development. This should be improved for developers. There should be some built-in connectors so the grind of the developer can be reduced."
"My company doesn't have any experience with other messaging tools, so it's difficult to mention what areas could be improved in Red Hat Fuse, but it could be pricing because I find it expensive."
