Easy to use with flexible pricing, but needs more flexibility surrounding integrations
The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go.  The pricing is flexible. It has some other products that give me a lot of flexibility, like the OS from Red Hat. The middleware is there, and the web layer is there as well. It's a good combination of…

Provides robust integration capabilities and extensive features but comes with a higher price tag and complexity in deployment and maintenance
Enhanced error-handling capabilities significantly boosted the reliability of our application, preventing crashes and ensuring high availability. For context, when dealing with critical services requiring 24/7 availability, we would often implement geographic replication and active-active modes. This setup ensured continuous operation, with one system seamlessly taking over in case of downtime. While automated processes are feasible today, we relied on monitoring tools to confirm operational status. Upon detection of any issues, the system would automatically switch to an alternate data center. Our architectural approach varied based on project requirements, prioritizing resilience and continuity. The distinction between traffic replication and backup lies in the time needed for restoration. By adhering to proper processes, both methods yield similar outcomes, with the primary difference being the time required for recovery. It aids in ensuring compliance with industry standards and protocols, although I'm uncertain whether the server comes with any preconfigured compliance settings. In my experience, I've been involved in PCI compliance and SOX compliance for large companies, and while considering the brand is essential, compliance configuration often extends beyond the software running on the network. Compliance efforts primarily focus on securing access and safeguarding information within servers or databases, rather than on individual software tools.

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."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
 

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 pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"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."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
