We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"It is one of the most stable products which I have seen in the market."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"Having the solution come from IBM you know you are receiving a product of quality in components and in the services, it is very good."
"The message queue connectors are the most valuable feature. They have built-in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP and Oracle Database."
"Promotes the reuse of developed resources to more efficiently consume resources."
"It allows us to avoid the need for consumers to understand multiple API protocols and security arrangements, and in some circumstances can reduce the impact of systems being unavailable."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"Sometimes migration takes too long."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"I would like to be able to run and install this solution on different platforms."
"IBM doesn't really have a very strong community surrounding the product. Most of its direct competitors are open source solutions, and those have an excellent and well-developed community around the tech to help users navigate the ins and outs of the product. IBM is lacking in this area."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
