Chose Oracle SOA Suite
I used Service Bus while developing SOA Suite composites. It makes development easier. Calls to vendors' web services for instance are done easily. Each vendor has its own protocol and development platform. Without Oracle Service Bus we would have had to thought on how to reach …

In comparison to Open source products like Apache Camel and Mule ESB, Oracle ESB is more robust and offers better enterprise capabilities. However, the licensing costs are fairly prohibitive and are preventing widespread product adoption. At our university, we had already purchased the Oracle Campus Solutions ERP suite and hence had little problems integrating their OSB as well.

Cons

  • Service implementation is not agile like microservices.
  • The architecture is so complex and could result in higher latency with so many layers to traverse.
  • Deployment of multiple web services in one session

We have had not many issues with Oracle Service Bus and it's very stable for our requirements. It's highly available and helps us implement Tier1 applications on it.

Usability

It's an excellent enterprise service bus and has very stable features. We have been using it since 2008. We did hit into some issues. But, recreating the service helped fix many issues. Also, deployment to various environments was easy. Also, the plugin on Eclipse helps to build proxy and business services quick and easy.

We had some issues with MQ connectivity through OSB and our experience was poor with the support team. They do respond. But, it felt like we are ignored and we had bad support. We had to escalate and things used to get dragged for weeks before we get more quality questions on how to pursue investigation.
