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.
Ritesh_Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"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."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The stability is excellent."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
 

Cons

"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"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."
"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."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
