Radhey Rajput

Sr. IT Analyst at NCR Corporation

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.

Cheif Specialist- Licensing Systems at Roads & Transport Authority

A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten. My company consists of around 7000 employees, and we use the solution as an integrated service in around 300 to 400 systems, both internally and externally, making it a huge number. Our company uses the solution every minute and every second, and we can't function without it.

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."

"There are some loopholes in service and support."

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

"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."

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

"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."

"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."

"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."

More Oracle Service Bus cons

"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."

"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."

"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."

"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."

"We'd like to see improvements in product support."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."

"The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."
