Oracle SOA Suite vs. Red Hat Fuse (discontinued)

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.

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.

• It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through different protocols.
• It helps in building reusable, well-defined services.

Incentivized

• Hybrid deployment (on-premise, private or public cloud) deployed on OpenShift.
• More than 200 connectors to connect practically everything.
• Scalability
• Pricing and Support

Incentivized

• Service implementation is not agile like microservices.
• The architecture is so complex and could result in higher latency with so many layers to traverse.
• Deployment of multiple web services in one session

Incentivized

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

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.

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.

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.

Mule ESB is an open source tool and would definitely cost less, however is not as sophisticated a product for the business functionality we need at US Cellular.. I have reviewed IBM WebSphere Message Broker, is very cumbersome and not very user friendly. Despite some of the license cost concerns, Oracle Service Bus stands out as an ideal Enterprise Service Bus solution at US Cellular

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.

• We were able to increase efficiency in our lead generation process.
• Improved data driven decisions.
• Reduction in processing time by aligning resources on time.

• Improve business process outcomes
• Improve process agility
• Reduce integration costs
• Reduces operations and monitoring costs
