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

"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."
"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."
"Easy to deploy new services."
"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."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through different protocols."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"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."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"While I have not used the latest versions, resource efficiency could be optimized, considering past experiences"
"The main problem could be related to timeout issues. This can happen due to legacy systems that might not allow the use of microservices."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
 

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"
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
