Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The process-oriented solution allows you to define choreography and orchestration.""One of the most valuable features is being able to implement business processes while keeping track of the design from BPMN to a BPEL Implementation.""The core is very stable.""OpenESB pushes the organization to clearly define service boundaries and interfaces. So it motives the business and the development teams to clearly define their business services and processes they want to implement. OpenESB supports fine and coarse-grain granularity for the services and supports top-down and bottom-up approaches for the services, processes definition, and composition."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good.""It was mostly easy to set up the product.""The stability is excellent.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations.""The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

Cons
"The documentation needs to be better.""Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great.""The documentation of the product must be improved. It could be tricky to find the right documentation on a topic since the documentation is spread in many places. I advise the new joiner to contact the community to get entry points and additional documentation. Tutorial and Video must be present to take up the product.""Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved."

More OpenESB Cons →

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""You cannot include the validation of XPath.""I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it.""WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs.""The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are two versions. The first is the community version, which is free and contains the last part of the feature, but if you want to get the Enterprise version, you'll have to pay €60,000 which covers support and two instances on production."
  • "The Community Edition is a full product you can use in production, it does not have limitations like other alternatives."
  • "The cost for the prediction instrument is high because it is charged per instances based on prediction, but the rest of the solution is free."
  • More OpenESB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "It is a low-cost solution."
  • "The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
