Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"It has improved the efficiency of development."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"The flexibility offered by Oracle Service Bus, especially in the latest versions, includes abstracting underlying processes and enabling drag-and-drop mappings from source to destination."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The installation process is easy."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
 

Cons

"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"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."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"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 main problem could be related to timeout issues. This can happen due to legacy systems that might not allow the use of microservices."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"It is a low-cost solution."
