We performed a comparison between IBM DataPower Gateway and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Support for PCA and non-PCA services is valuable."
"The API Connect gateway service and the SQL injection feature is good."
"Since it is a gateway, it provides a lot of security features."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"What I like most is the stability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"Its support services could be better."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"The product's cost for data appliances or hardware is quite high. It needs improvement."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"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."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
