Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and Spring Cloud Data Flow are both in the competitive integration solutions market. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is noted for better pricing and support, whereas Spring Cloud Data Flow is favored for its advanced features, making it appealing despite higher costs.

Features: WSO2 Enterprise Integrator offers broad support for integration patterns, efficient data transformation, and strong API management. Spring Cloud Data Flow provides a cloud-native architecture, effective microservices orchestration, and robust real-time data processing.

Room for Improvement: WSO2 Enterprise Integrator could enhance its user interface for easier configuration, streamline its documentation for quick onboarding, and introduce better cloud-native capabilities. Spring Cloud Data Flow can improve its initial deployment simplicity, reduce the complexity of its microservices setup, and offer more comprehensive out-of-the-box support for different cloud providers.

Has a plug-and-play model and provides good robustness and scalability

The solution's community support could be improved. I don't know why the Spring Cloud Data Flow community is not very strong. Community support is very limited whenever you face any problem or are stuck somewhere. I'm not sure whether it has improved in the last six months because this pipeline was set up almost two years ago. I struggled with that a lot. For example, there was limited support whenever I got an exception and sought help from Stack Overflow or different forums. Interacting with Kubernetes needs a few certificates. You need to define all the certificates within your application. With the help of those certificates, your Java application or Spring Cloud Data Flow can interact with Kubernetes. I faced a lot of hurdles while placing those certificates. Despite following the official documentation to define all the replicas, readiness, and liveliness probes within the Spring Cloud Data Flow application, it was not working. So, I had to troubleshoot while digging in and debugging the internals of Spring Cloud Data Flow at that time. It was just a configuration mismatch, and I was doing nothing weird. There was a small spelling difference between how Spring Cloud Data Flow was expecting it and how I passed it. I was just following the official documentation.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."

"Overall, Spring Cloud Data Flow is a really good solution and a lot cheaper than a lot of infrastructure provided by big companies like Google or Amazon."

"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."

"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow pros

"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."

"The stability is excellent."

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature; it is very easy to write remediations."

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

Cons

"The visual user interface could use some help; it needs improvement."

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The solution's community support could be improved."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow cons

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."

"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

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