Considered Both Products	Oracle Verified User Chose Oracle SOA Suite Oracle being the market leader and has a lot of compatibilities with sources like SOA projects, Oracle database and other JMS feeds. Incentivized Helpful? Theodule Desouza Senior Programmer Analyst in Customer Service at CCSF (Government Relations, 10,001+ employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Oracle SOA Suite When we wanted an enterprise service bus, the AquaLogic Service bus was our first choice and it had very stable features.

User Testimonials
	Oracle SOA Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle Oracle service bus is great to quickly proxy any legacy services exposed as soap service. It's well suited for aggregating multiple services on a single endpoint. We can point to multiple endpoints on the business service and use a round-robin approach to access the endpoints. It's not well suited for data transformation and quick preview of mappings and transformations. It's not great on path to cloud transformation. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Oracle The Oracle Service Bus makes the management of web services extremely easy. Through its point and click interface, the web service endpoints can be easily modified. The administration console provides useful dashboards to diagnose any service issues. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	Oracle Message reporting tied to a database seems counter productive. Better options to eliminate that would not only minimize the maintenance hassle but also gives more ease to manage the product. Polling feature isn't very efficient where the end point JMS queues may still have JMS connections despite not enabling the corresponding poller proxy services. Unable to deploy multiple web services in one go from the OSB Web console. Incentivized Ramprasad Kraleti Middleware Lead Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Oracle 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Usability	Oracle 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.

Support Rating	Oracle 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
