Lightweight and efficient solution

It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Can be fed information from existing database tables, JMS feeds, PL/SQL, BPM and SOA projects.

Aside from the normal bug fixes that were in the previous release, Oracle BAM 12.2.1.(3) is a great improvement. Customers using Oracle BAM 12.1.3 should consider upgrading to 12.2.1.(3). The three primary reasons I would give a customer to encourage them to upgrade are: 1. End user dashboard responsiveness has been performance vastly improved. 2. It is easy to detect trends and have Oracle BAM automatically send notifications due to its integration with Oracle Stream Analytics. This means Non-technical people can create queries and alerts based on pre-built templates such as: * Top N Template - e.g., provide a rolling window of a specified number of items (e.g., order amounts) over a specified period of time * Trending Detection Template - e.g., detect when order processing time in a specified rolling window of time is trending down by x% then output the time and trending values * Duplicate Detection Template - e.g., If duplicate values are detected for a supplier and requester over a specified rolling window of time, the duplicated output is output * KPI Alert Template - e.g., send an alert if processing time over the last specified time period is not within the previous average +/- standard deviation * Missing Event Template - e.g., when an EDI file is submitted and the response is not received within a time specified, an alert can be fired * Moving Aggregation Template - e.g., the moving average of dropped calls over a rolling window of time exceeds a certain amount then send an alert. 3. It might seem like a small thing, but list views can now be used to export to a CSV file. Other improvements that I have already found useful include: * It is not always possible to build BAM queries declaratively. When this is the case, you can now create your own pre-defined SQL queries * The data objects can now be on a purge schedule automatically using Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Manager * Data objects can now be joined using Inner or Left Outer Joins * Some widgets now support zoom

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"Before this, there was a separate front-end software setup for different departments in the organization, which is now clubbed together and provides a single platform for all departments functioning on different business aspects."

"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."

"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."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"Easy to deploy new services."

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

More Aurea CX Messenger pros

"It provides automatic sending of alerts for the monitoring of the business, and it is a feature which works and is very valuable to the organization."

"Oracle BAM's ability to be fed information from a variety of sources that include existing database tables, JMS feeds, PL/SQL, BPM and SOA projects, along with its synergy with other Oracle products, makes it an excellent fit for Oracle shops."

"This tool gave us the capacity to understand how our personnel is managing priorities and how these priorities affect our business."

Cons

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"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."

"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."

More Aurea CX Messenger cons

"There were so many bugs and restrictions that were sold as "characteristics"."

"Bugs are in every product and this is no exception."

"Sometimes creating a new measurement could be difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
