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.

The cheapest solution but the learning curve is steep

Red Hat has the latest, cutting-edge features, but the learning curve is difficult due to its configurations. For the client, it has a good cost, but for developers, it is a bit of a grind. If a new company is doing Red Hat Fuse development for the first time, there is a bit of a learning curve. They will need to spend time on getting some things ready. 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. Developers for Red Hat Fuse are scarce all over the world and the community is not well-built. That can be a problem for big companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."

"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."

"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."

"The solution integrates external systems by providing a lot of APIs for external transactions, such as open purchase orders and sales orders."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."

"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."

"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."

"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."

More Oracle Service Bus pros

"This solution's adaptability to our use case has helped us integrate our systems seamlessly."

"Red Hat Fuse's best features are that it's very easy to set up and maintain."

"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 installation is quite okay. We don't really change much in the configuration. Most of the time, most of the settings remain with the default and we are able to handle our needs using the default setting."

"The stability has been good."

"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."

"It's very lightweight. There's no need for any specialized tools in order to deploy any service for Red Hat Fuse."

"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."

Cons

"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."

"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."

"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."

"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."

"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."

"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"

"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."

"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."

More Oracle Service Bus cons

"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."

"The pricing model could be adjusted. The price should be lower."

"The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."

"The web tools need to be updated."

"Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions."

"I would like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples from Red Hat Fuse."

"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."

"I don't know the product last versions. I know they are migrating a microservices concepts. We still didn't get there... but we are in the process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"

"We have an unlimited yearly license."

"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."

"Red Hat Fuse is an expensive tool, though I cannot answer how much it costs as that's confidential."

"We use the standard license, but you need the container platform in order to run it."

"This is an expensive product. It costs a lot and although it's worth the money, the explanations that we need to give to our top executives are highly complicated."

"The most important feature of Fuse is the cost. It is open source and a cheap option for an ESB. So, most of the clients in the Middle East and Asian countries prefer this ESB. Other ESBs, like MuleSoft and IBM API Connect, are pretty expensive. Because it is open source, Red Hat Fuse is the cheapest solution, providing almost every integration capability."

"My company pays for the license of Red Hat Fuse yearly. At the end of the day, it's a low-cost solution, and its support licenses are still very decently priced versus bigger operators such as IBM, etc. Red Hat Fuse is much more affordable than other solutions. On a scale of one to five, with one being cheap and five being extremely expensive, I'm rating its pricing a one."

"Our license for Red Hat Fuse is around $27,000 per year, which is very expensive."

"You need to pay for the license. It's not free."

"In terms of pricing, Red Hat Fuse is a bit expensive because nowadays, if I'm just comparing it with OpenShift with Kubernetes, so Kubernetes and OpenShift, are similar, and Kubernetes is open source, so Red Hat Fuse is quite expensive in terms of support, but Red Hat Fuse provides value for money because it provides good support. If you want to get something, you need to pay for it."
