We performed a comparison between Fiorano ESB and IBM Integration 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."One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."
"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."
"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."
"I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"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."
"I recommend it for large enterprises but only for specific use cases. You need to have a relatively mature integration practice in your organization to leverage its capabilities fully."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"Web interface, REST API for viewing services, admin, stats, and deployment are premium features, which makes IIB stand among its competition."
"The cost is pretty cheap, compared to what else is available in the market."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."
"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."
"I think security should be more simplified."
"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."
"The product does not provide API management."
"Some of the runtime properties need to be improved because if you want to load certificates as sales security, you have to restart the server."
"The version of the technology and current knowledge is a bit outdated."
"They need to come up with Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). It should also have a feature for integrating with those applications that are on the cloud."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
