We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and Red Hat Fuse 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."Facilitates communication between parties and legacy systems."
"Easy to understand documentation with a huge list of examples and tutorials."
"The interface is quite stable."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"I found all features valuable. There are a lot of connectors."
"From a performance point of view, it's very good and it doesn't need very much in terms of CPU resources."
"We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"One of the features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse is that it has a lot of containers so you won't have to worry about load balancing. In the past, there was a cut-off, but nowadays, Red Hat Fuse is moving off of that, so my team is utilizing it the most for load balancing, particularly running goal applications and three to five containers. There's automatic load balancing so you won't have to worry too much. I also found that component-wise, you don't have to do much coding in Red Hat Fuse because everything is configurable, for example, XML-based coding. Coding isn't that difficult. Performance-wise, I also found the solution to be quite good and its processing is quite fast. My team is processing a huge amount of data with the help of Red Hat Fuse."
"The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful."
"The most valuable part of Fuse is the fact that it's based on Red Hat Apache Camel. It is really good that it already comes with so many different connectors. That makes it relatively easy to use. We use their XML definition to define the routes, making it really easy to define the routing."
"The most valuable feature is that it's the same as Apache Camel."
"Because we have been doing Red Hat Fuse projects for three years, and over time we have matured, we can employ similar use cases and make use of accelerators or templates. It gives us an edge when we deliver these services or APIs quickly."
"The initial setup process is quite straightforward."
"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."
"I would like to see more metered rest and API support. IBM is already working on it on Version 11, but it still needs improvement."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"It would be beneficial for it to function more as an iPaaS, with the runtime available in the cloud, potentially on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud."
"IBM Integration Bus could be easier to manage, but this is true of all vendors. It doesn't always do what it says on the box."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"IBM Integration Bus can improve JSON Schema validations. We don't have any kind of nodes that can support that kind of validation. If we want to containerize it by means of the docker's containers in the clouds, we are not able to manage it very well."
"The password settings need improvement."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"As its learning curve is quite steep, developer dependency will always be there in the case of a Red Hat Fuse development. This should be improved for developers. There should be some built-in connectors so the grind of the developer can be reduced."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."
"For improvement, they can consider the way we collaborate with other applications...Right now, in Red Hat Fuse, everything is not available under one umbrella."
"The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples from Red Hat Fuse."
"The documentation for Fuse can be improved because, while it is very detailed and extensive, it is not too intuitive for someone that has to deliver some kind of troubleshooting services. In particular, for installation, re-installation, or upgrades, I find that the documentation can be improved."
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had."
"Our clients would like to see the user interface improved so that it is more user-friendly."
