    Enterprise companies (1,001+ employees)
    WSO2 says they have taken a fresh look at old-style, centralized ESB architectures, and designed their unique WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus from the ground up as the highest performance, lowest footprint, and most interoperable service oriented architecture (SOA) and integration middleware today. Additionally, the vendor says that by relying on their carbon technology the ESB is able to deliver a smooth start-to-finish project experience.N/A

    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)

    WSO2 ESB is an awesome product for companies looking to venture into the world of SOA with an ESB. They have a lot of other products too that can work really well with their carbon infrastructure. The interface is simple for deploying and managing proxy services. You can also write custom modules within the ESB using Java with IDE like Eclipse

    Pros
    Qlik
    • Up to 900 connectors included in the license with no extra cost
    • Graphical UI to develop the Web Services
    • You can begin with the community version to evaluate or start implementing a very uncomplicated ESB
    • The Talend ESB Admin Control is very powerful with dashboards and reports to keep your IF working smoothly

    • One of the basic requirement of an ESB product is that it should be able to support transformation. WSO2 ESB provides support of XSLT, so you can transform your request to whatever format. Moreover, transformations like converting your xml payload into JSON and JSON payload to XML are out of the box available.
    • WSO2 ESB provides a scheduler feature, by which you can configure your own scheduler to call a proxy service at a particular time of day or or initiate sequence.
    • WSO2 ESB provides excellent error handling techniques, WSO2 ESB provides detailed error handling scenarios to tackle all the situations. WSO2 ESB also provides custom error handling by which you can make your own custom error message before sending it back to client.

    Cons
    Qlik
    • 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

    • While it's easy to configure for a quick start, it is not so easy to deploy by yourself in a complex production scenario.
    • Not very stable for production usage, we encountered several trivial bugs that make us believe that this product is still not widely adopted.
    • Lack of a built in mechanism for auto-restart in case of an application server crash.

    Lack of auto-restart built-in capabilities. In case of running out of memory there are no built-in methods to recover from a crash, just for example, Oracle WebLogic Node Manager.

    • 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.
