A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten. My company consists of around 7000 employees, and we use the solution as an integrated service in around 300 to 400 systems, both internally and externally, making it a huge number. Our company uses the solution every minute and every second, and we can't function without it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main advantage of Oracle Service Bus is the possibility to integrate different systems using workflows and different architectures in the same product."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"For situations where they are many integration points, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud, this is a good solution."
"The solution integrates external systems by providing a lot of APIs for external transactions, such as open purchase orders and sales orders."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"It's definitely stable."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"With this platform, the return of investment would be less than one year."
"It's great for large clients, where it is largely being used."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"The solution is very stable."
"This is a user-friendly product stack and provides you with a reliable, robust, and high-performance Integration solution."
"This solution, as well as other products from TIBCO, are helping us grow."
"TIBCO has proven to be far superior, and we later realized that the capabilities that TIBCO had were far, far superior to what Oracle was able to offer so we chose TIBCO instead."
 

Cons

"There are several improvements that could be made to the product. Security needs to be more integrated, there are so many new security techniques on the market that could be integrated."
"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"The microservices portion of Oracle Service Bus needs some improvement. Compared to MuleSoft, MuleSoft is much easier to use and deploy than what is currently available in Oracle Service Bus."
"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."
"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."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"Whenever there is some kind of challenge or whenever there is a client issue, when we want to report it and offer some proactive solutions, we don't get proper assistance or support."
"The biggest disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive; it's just too costly."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
