    JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is great when you are looking at building more or less pure Java applications and SOA micro-services that may integrate with multiple external data sources. It is less useful when you are looking to build simple SOA applications that are simple in nature since the overhead associated with deploying as well as learning BPEL.

    RedHat Jboss Fuse can be used perfectly to solve application integration or microservices implementation at the departmental or enterprise level. The wide quantity of connectors it provides allows any application to be integrated. Specific technical and programming knowledge is required to build the interfaces, therefore it is not so appropriate for those companies that do not have these employee profiles.

    Cons
    Red Hat
    • JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is dependent and build for JEE/Java application so using a different programming paradigm will be much harder.
    • There is still a learning curve to get familiar with BPEL making it harder to get an SOA micro-service up and running compared to a fully cloud-based service

    • Better UI for drag and drop or no-coding integration.

    Support Rating
    Red Hat
    Redhat support generally is great and that is true for the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform as well. Even if you do not buy support from Redhat, you can reply on the discussion board and bug fixes via the open-source JBoss without much trouble.

    Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle BPM + Oracle BPEL + other components) and IBM WebSphere middleware is most costly and suited if you are already using applications and other middleware components from these vendors. Mulesoft (Salesforce Mule ESB) is best when you need deep integration with one of Salesforce's existing products. JBoss and Apache Web Server are best when you do not want to invest infant CapEx/OpEx on license fee. Apache Web Server based middleware is best for simple SOA applications.

    RedHat JBoss Fuse has a strong user community, it's fully opensource and it's easy to license with world-class support. It also has strong integration with AMQP messaging system to bring much more control and visibility over integration patterns, messaging flows, and the overall system topology.
