Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The setup is straightforward."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Mule Expression Language"
"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"The connectors help to connect with a variety of applications."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"It is stable."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) has been good at communicating between two applications, changing formats and using the required protocols... We can have one site communicating in an old FTP or SFTP style, or via file transfer. And with other applications, we could have API or a web service call or some other protocol used to send information."
"One valuable feature is the scalability. We have not had to add processing power or hardware since we installed it. Also, we are able to create and deploy maps to migrate from another EDI platform very quickly."
"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"The ease of integration of the SEEBURGER product into SAP was pretty seamless. There wasn't any trouble, there weren't any complexities."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"It has a lot of basic EDI already established for all the main users. Also, it lets me share setups that I had already set up for my first plant. I was able to use them for my second one which was very helpful. I didn't have to start from scratch for my second facility."
"We can code in Java, which is really good feature. There is very vast command available, which can be used in mapping."
"The stability could be improved."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"The solution isn't as stable as we'd like it to be. There are some ongoing issues and therefore Mule has to provide frequent patches. Mule's core IP should be more stable overall."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"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 initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"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."
"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 ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."
"The speed of development needs improvement. If you acquire any customization, it can be a slightly slow process. I would like to see more flexibility around customizations. The time frame right now depends on the sophistication and customization, but we have to go through a process of getting them to develop, implement, and test it. This might take a couple of weeks. If it was a simpler system to customize, the time could probably be cut by half or down by even 25 percent of what it would normally take."
"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."
"It's rather difficult to understand, from the application, what's broken and why it doesn't work. We typically need to get support from them directly, and it's usually in a consulting role, to fix issues."
"The integration is not so excellent. While I'm not saying there is a problem, there is no pattern. When we start a new project, we have to work with new people and processes every time. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable. It needs to be rebuilt each time."
"On the server side, there are a lot of administration and configuration files that you need to go in and do maintenance on. You have to find them in a certain folder so it's very error-prone and it can be a little time consuming unless it's documented. They could pull some of those individual configuration files into the product itself where there's a better user interface for that."
