Easy to use with flexible pricing, but needs more flexibility surrounding integrations
The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems. I'm not sure if it is possible, however, we would like to see features that allow for legacy systems so that they can continue to be developed and managed well. The solution should provide some more general studio features. We should be able to manipulate the platform in order to do some integrations on our own. There needs to be a bit more flexibility.

Allows seamless integration and connectivity with different types of systems
I would suggest using this solution. Oracle Service Bus is very good. Any organization can use it. So it's very robust and scalable, and its security features are very good. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because there are some loopholes in service and support. Sometimes, when we have issues and go to Oracle support, they will not give us solutions. Instead, they will ask for so many log files and emails. The product is good, but the support is not.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
 

Cons

"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"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."
"The consolidation functionality is minimal, lacking advanced features for complex integrations."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"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."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
