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.
Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"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."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"It is quite expensive."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
