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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers excellent stability."
"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"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."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"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."
"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."
"Easy to deploy new services."
"In summary, this is a very complete product and it works well for us."
"For situations where they are many integration points, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud, this is a good solution."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations."
"It is stable."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
 

Cons

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"The 2015 version was a nightmare at the beginning compared with 2013 version."
"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 weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"The cost of the solution is too high. There are cheaper better solutions out there."
"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."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"The technical support for this solution is not very good."
 

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 price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."
