Efficiently calculates data flow and provides ease of integration
We seamlessly integrated IBM Event Streams with real data processes by establishing data consumers. The consumers act as end-users, initiating requests and receiving responses from the data provider.

It provides an easy integration, particularly in creating a platform and facilitating interactions between subscribers and service providers. I rate it 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

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"Easy to deploy new services."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"My advice to anyone considering Aurea CX Messenger is just try it; from my experience, it is very easy to deploy, very easy to develop and to implement in production."
"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."
"The solution's stability is excellent; it's one of the best features, and we haven't experienced any bugs or glitches that have affected its performance."
"I am happy with the product, other than pricing I don't have any other improvements that I can suggest."
"The system efficiently processes and calculates the data flow within the cluster using DLP functionality."
"The triggering scenarios and routing scenarios are all good, making it a very useful solution for financial institutions."
"The stability has been good."
"I'm an administrator, and what I like most is the interface, the security, and the storage."
 

Cons

"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"The 2015 version was a nightmare at the beginning compared with 2013 version."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"Another issue, which again, I'm not aware if they already have because we have not updated to the latest version, but all the DevOps features would be nice to have because right now they are using their own deployment features."
"It would be helpful if they could help us explain why they, as in, the customers, should use the product and the overall benefits."
"The pricing needs to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the GUI allow you to configure the security section."
"The product's interface needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"The pricing is not so high."
"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"The platform is averagely priced."
"The pricing needs to be improved."
