Scalable and easy to maintain

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification. "

Cons

"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality. "

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of Fiorano ESB is to expose our core banking APIs. We use Finastra's Fusion Equation, which has its own API layer and runs on an IBM machine. Nowadays, this generation of developers isn't familiar with API structures, so we converted the ESB, which is now working as a middle layer to expose all related core banking APIs via web services. The deployment servers are implemented on-premises, but the configuration is done remotely.
