One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages.

The Messenger Broker is a really good feature. 

The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need.

The runtime environment is scalable. You can deploy a service in one server and if the amount of traffic is increasing, you can deploy the same service in multiple servers so that you're escalating the service to support more calls.

1. Aurea has bundled well-known and widely used technologies like XSLT, JavaScript, XSD, WSDL, etc., which make programmers life easier as there is no need to learn any tool specific coding.
2. Build and deployment are really easy.
3. SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required.
4. Environment Setup: Very easy to create a complete environment from scratch. Just to give example on my project, we were able to build a production environment in just 35 minutes after software installation and ready script.
5. Custom Java service: Allows you to write your own code to fulfill any given requirement that Java can support. This is a very useful feature. 

The solution offers excellent stability.

The solution is very good at supporting security particulars.

• MQ: I liked that the transport layer was separated from the business (ESB) layer.
• ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all.
• SDM: Very helpful feature for setting up or updating the whole system for as many servers and environments as you needed. Liked this feature a lot and am missing it.

• Easy to deploy new services.
• Drag and Drop tool to develop: It is fantastic.
• Velocity
• Integration with other platforms.
