Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The process-oriented solution allows you to define choreography and orchestration.""OpenESB pushes the organization to clearly define service boundaries and interfaces. So it motives the business and the development teams to clearly define their business services and processes they want to implement. OpenESB supports fine and coarse-grain granularity for the services and supports top-down and bottom-up approaches for the services, processes definition, and composition.""One of the most valuable features is being able to implement business processes while keeping track of the design from BPMN to a BPEL Implementation.""The core is very stable."

More OpenESB Pros →

"The stability is excellent.""It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well.""The customer service executives are very responsive.""The solution's customer service is good.""It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

Cons
"The documentation needs to be better.""Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved.""Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great.""The documentation of the product must be improved. It could be tricky to find the right documentation on a topic since the documentation is spread in many places. I advise the new joiner to contact the community to get entry points and additional documentation. Tutorial and Video must be present to take up the product."

More OpenESB Cons →

"The integration capabilities need to be improved.""One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach.""I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version.""I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""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.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are two versions. The first is the community version, which is free and contains the last part of the feature, but if you want to get the Enterprise version, you'll have to pay €60,000 which covers support and two instances on production."
  • "The Community Edition is a full product you can use in production, it does not have limitations like other alternatives."
  • "The cost for the prediction instrument is high because it is charged per instances based on prediction, but the rest of the solution is free."
  • More OpenESB Pricing and Cost Advice →
