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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"

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

"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."

"It has improved the efficiency of development."

"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."

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

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

"The ability to master the process in one location."

More Oracle Service Bus pros

"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."

"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."

"The solution is very stable."

"It's very stable and reliable."

"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus pros

Cons

"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."

"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."

"Security needs to be more integrated."

"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."

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

"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."

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

More Oracle Service Bus cons

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

"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"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."

"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."

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

"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."

"The initial setup process could be easier."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"We have an unlimited yearly license."

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

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

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"

"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."

"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."

"The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."

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

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

"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."

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