We performed a comparison between IBM DataPower Gateway and Oracle Service Bus 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."Support for PCA and non-PCA services is valuable."
"The solution is scalable, our customers are mostly South African banks and they handle mostly transactions with this solution."
"It's high-speed and it can be remotely administered via an API."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"What I like most is the stability."
"The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"You don't have to have a separate DMC proxy because DataPower Gateway is an appliance and will take care of a lot of security features. These include data validations, encryption, as well as XML or any type of scripting or security threats that are present."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"IBM DataPower Gateway is quite big for smaller organizations, looking at different types of clients who are virtually assisted in this, I would say it's not really a good product for smaller firms."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
"I would like the tool to improve its training."
"We are always looking for more features wherein it could be easily integrated with cloud applications. We are looking for either a cloud solution or a cloud integration option."
"They should add features to manage API integrations."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"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 inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
