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

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Performance is everything and this has proven itself over the years."
"The solution is stable, very scalable, and the installation is quite straightforward, and we've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The main advantage of Oracle Service Bus is the possibility to integrate different systems using workflows and different architectures in the same product."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring feature, where we can track the web's UI development."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through different protocols."
"It's definitely stable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."
"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"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."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The main inconvenience is the composition between services; if you have six or seven services you call in the same process, it's very difficult and that's the main issue."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"The pricing is not so high."
"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"
"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
"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 price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
"We have an unlimited yearly license."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
