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.

Offers a single console for all applications and supports Camel routing

Containerization is one key area where the product can improve, but it probably has already improved in JBOS integration. On a few occasions, our company's production team faced an issue with Red Hat Fuse; the screen displayed that the containers had gone down while, in reality, they were running in the background. The user interface and the back-end code were not in sync in the aforementioned situation, which our organization frequently faced while using Red Hat Fuse. But at our company, we were using an older version of Red Hat Fuse in which we faced the issues. From the JBOS end, the product was very frequently changed from Red Hat, and it was difficult for our clients to keep investing money in every upgrade. Six or seven years back, Red Hat Fuse was one of the best solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the adapters."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."

"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."

"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."

"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."

"Overall it is a pretty good solution."

More Oracle Service Bus pros

"The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful."

"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours."

"The stability has been good."

"I found it was quite easy to set up and implement."

"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 solution is stable. We have gone for months or years without any issue. There are no memory restarts, so from my point of view, it's very stable."

"The solution has more tooling and options."

"The support training that comes with the product is amazing."

More Red Hat Fuse pros

Cons

"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."

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

"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."

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

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

"The error-handling capability can be improved"

"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."

"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."

More Oracle Service Bus cons

"The web tools need to be updated."

"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."

"While it's a good platform, the pricing is a bit high."

"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."

"The documentation for Fuse can be improved because, while it is very detailed and extensive, it is not too intuitive for someone that has to deliver some kind of troubleshooting services. In particular, for installation, re-installation, or upgrades, I find that the documentation can be improved."

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

"In the next release, I'd like more stability and more security overall."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Pricing has been something that we have been working with Red Hat on, year over year. We have preferred pricing with the university because we are involved in education and research."

"The solution doesn't have independent licensing."

"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."

"After doing some Googling and comparisons, the main standouts were MuleSoft and Red Hat Fuse. One of the big factors in our decision to go with Fuse was the licensing cost. It was cheaper to go with Fuse."

"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."
