Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business.""Red Hat Fuse's best features are that it's very easy to set up and maintain.""The support training that comes with the product is amazing.""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 process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful.""The initial setup process is quite straightforward.""We usually had used PowerCenter for master data integration (by replication). But in some cases, it was better to use Fuse for providing the master data online. It doesn't make it necessary to replicate data."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""The learning curve for this solution is very good.""WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide.""The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone.""It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well.""The solution basically conforms to our standards.""The solution's customer service is good."

Cons
"In the next release, I'd like more stability and more security overall.""What needs to be improved in Red Hat Fuse is on the development side because when you use it for development purposes, it lacks a user interface compared to what MuleSoft has, so it's a bit difficult for users.""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of the developer can be reduced.""The monitoring experience should be better.""The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation.""The documentation for Fuse can be improved because, while it is very detailed and extensive, it is not too intuitive for someone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.""The solution will be discontinued in 2024.""The testing part, specifically when running it in the cloud, could be improved. It's a little bit complex, especially considering its cloud nature."

More Red Hat Fuse Cons →

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs.""The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components.""I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version.""In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues.""They should introduce better pricing for small companies.""The integration capabilities need to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We found other solutions were more costly."
  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "After doing some Googling and comparisons, the main standouts were MuleSoft and Red Hat Fuse. One of the big factors in our decision to go with Fuse was the licensing cost. It was cheaper to go with Fuse."
  • "Pricing has been something that we have been working with Red Hat on, year over year. We have preferred pricing with the university because we are involved in education and research."
  • "This is an expensive product. It costs a lot and although it's worth the money, the explanations that we need to give to our top executives are highly complicated."
  • "The most important feature of Fuse is the cost. It is open source and a cheap option for an ESB. So, most of the clients in the Middle East and Asian countries prefer this ESB. Other ESBs, like MuleSoft and IBM API Connect, are pretty expensive. Because it is open source, Red Hat Fuse is the cheapest solution, providing almost every integration capability."
  • "My company pays for the license of Red Hat Fuse yearly. At the end of the day, it's a low-cost solution, and its support licenses are still very decently priced versus bigger operators such as IBM, etc. Red Hat Fuse is much more affordable than other solutions. On a scale of one to five, with one being cheap and five being extremely expensive, I'm rating its pricing a one."
  • "Red Hat Fuse is an expensive tool, though I cannot answer how much it costs as that's confidential."

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "It is a low-cost solution."
  • "The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
