BAM is well suited for tracking the real time sales and making decisions very quickly if there are any bottlenecks. In our scenario, if there were more leads generated [then] we would need more staff in back office to process those leads. So, we were quickly able to align resources and achieve targets and provide great customer service.

  • Integration. It is a writing service. Oracle Service Bus is a proxy layer. It helps in building reusable, well-defined services.
  • It is lightweight, and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through various protocols.

It is well suited for interacting with various web services that are SOAP or REST based. It provides great flexibility. It is definitely not appropriate for complex developments that require orchestration. It is not well suited for agile development like what is being done with microservices today. It does not support using the console concurrent deployment of multiple web services.

The Oracle Service Bus is the ideal tool to integrate isolated business applications. It is part of a complete suite of middleware solution, like SOA Suite, BPM Suite, ESS, and is all that you require to implement the application and technology layer domain. Oracle Service Bus works fine with SOAP and Rest, XML and JSON, and is a standard application.

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.

OSB is a great tool and works well for both Integration and virtualization. Now OSB is available on the cloud as part of SOACS. The customer has a choice either to go with a cloud version or an on-premise version. There is another newer cloud-based integration platform (iPaaS) called Oracle Integration Cloud. OSB may not be the best fit for Bulk and batch integration as well as for complex integration/orchestration.

We found it to be most useful when developing workflows based on several disparate applications. Our end user reporting was, frankly, disorganized and there was no apparent logic system to how the process ought to function. As we had made the move to adopt Oracle and its suite of programs as our standard, it made cross functionality/integration very easy for our IT development team as well.

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.

  1. User Interface of Oracle Service Bus is much more appealing and easy-to-use than other Integration/ESB products in the market. This also enables the Infrastructure engineers to be able to hand off some of the administrative tasks to other support teams.
  2. Very robust and stable, doesn't demand JVM restarts for minor configuration changes.
  3. License costs are high as any other Oracle product, so it may be considered when a company has a large set of web services to be implemented. Unless Oracle reduces the license costs, it may lose the market to a lot of open source Enterprise Service Bus too.
