Featured Reviews

Radhey Rajput - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Mustofa Yonus - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The technology is really easy to learn."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."

"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
 

Cons

"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"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 error-handling capability can be improved"
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"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."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the higher side."
