We performed a comparison between Oracle Service Bus and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"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."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"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."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"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."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"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."
"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
