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 am into microservices using Java Spring Boot, but if we are using legacy systems, IBM Integration Bus is very good for them. They have their own computational logic called EC12, their own proprietary language. You can do any kind of complex logic and can implement other ESVs that I have seen."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"IBM Integration Bus has a complete set of tools that are implemented between rules when it comes to run time, but it's not easy to understand."
"I use the integration of Kafka and the message flow, which is really good. It is also good for moving any file from one location to another. Using IBM Integration Bus in the data stage is pretty simple. You can see the preview and other things. The MQ server integrated with IBM Integration Bus is really great. I don't have to do a lot of configuration from that side. It is really good."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"The message queue, like, message queue connectors. Then they have a built in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP, oracle database, and this Civil connector is there. Of course, we have this SQL database connector So those built in connectors are there. For the almost most of the systems, we have built in connectors. And second thing is that it is a stateless Integration, so it doesn't maintain a state of the integration. Bus the Stitches Integration makes it very fast."
"The solution addresses all of our middleware needs in respect of transformation, parsing, security and stability; everything really."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"Performance can be an issue sometimes. The tool occasionally crashes due to memory-related problems. We've reported these issues to IBM, and they are actively working on improving the tooling experience."
"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 cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"The product could be improved by including more resources on SQL."
"The solution could improve by having built-in implementation and secure monitoring without the need for API Connect."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"What needs improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the connectivity between adapters such as the Salesforce adapter and database adapters. The limited number of adapters compatible with Oracle Service Bus makes you want to switch to a different solution."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
IBM Integration Bus is ranked 1st in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) with 65 reviews while Oracle Service Bus is ranked 5th in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) with 25 reviews. IBM Integration Bus is rated 8.0, while Oracle Service Bus is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of IBM Integration Bus writes "Scalable solution with efficient integration features". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle Service Bus writes "Enables us to do a lot of aggregation and routing, but API response can be a problem if the payload is heavy". IBM Integration Bus is most compared with Mule ESB, webMethods Integration Server, IBM WebSphere Message Broker, IBM DataPower Gateway and Red Hat Fuse, whereas Oracle Service Bus is most compared with Mule ESB, webMethods Integration Server, Red Hat Fuse, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus.
