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."Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"It is stable."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"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 would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"The deployment should be simplified."
