We performed a comparison between JBoss ESB, Oracle Service Bus, and webMethods Integration Server 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)."The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"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."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The product is very stable."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"The stability is good."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"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."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"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."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"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."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."
"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 initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
