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."The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"The API Connect gateway service and the SQL injection feature is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable features are AAA policies and security features."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"The solution is robust."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"Since it is a gateway, it provides a lot of security features."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"It is a costly product."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
"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 initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
