Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"The flexibility offered by Oracle Service Bus, especially in the latest versions, includes abstracting underlying processes and enabling drag-and-drop mappings from source to destination."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"It's very stable and reliable."

Cons

"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"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."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"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."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."

"The pricing is on the higher side."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."

"When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."
