    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.

    Recommended for:
    1. Multiple systems to interface for a task in the company (example: to sell an item your POS must communicate with the inventory software, then to accounting, then to service, etc).
    2. When a task must bring information from several external services.
    3. When you have to deal with multiple APIs.
    Not recommended for:
    1. Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB)

    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.

    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.

    • You have to log in to each module separately
    • 900 connectors is a lot, but if you have a custom app to interface, you have to develop your connector

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • First, it is a lot of cheaper than the closest competitor.
    • Second, Talend ESB is in the same league as other stronger brands.
    • Third, the functions and modules are a 360 solution to implement an ESB.
    Talend has a different approach to license since it is based on programmers and run times, not to users of cores.

    • Considerably cheaper than oracle service bus
    • As I said before, you can run a POC using the community version of Talend Studio.
    • Built from Open Source/ well-proven technologies, and a big community to support those technologies.
