Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable.""The learning curve for this solution is very good.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""The solution basically conforms to our standards.""WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide.""The stability is excellent."

Cons
"Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved.""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.""Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great.""The documentation needs to be better."

More OpenESB Cons →

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me.""There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced.""They should introduce better pricing for small companies.""The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it.""The integration capabilities need to be improved.""In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience.""The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components.""The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "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."
