We performed a comparison between Oracle Service Bus, webMethods Integration Server, and Workday Business Process Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."
"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."
"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus. Cloud hosting is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Service Bus."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"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."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"We encountered delays with the tool."
"There could be more automation included."
"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."
