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."It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"IBM Integration Bus has been effective in facilitating our messaging and service-oriented architecture (SOA) or bus architecture. So, we're already utilizing it to transform the data from the source it's sending. It converts the data from the format the source sends it into the format the destination system requires. So we are transforming the messages, which are required by the destination system; that's the one way."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"It is one of the most stable products which I have seen in the market."
"From a performance point of view, it's very good and it doesn't need very much in terms of CPU resources."
"It is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the software development environment."
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours."
"The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful."
"We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"This solution's adaptability to our use case has helped us integrate our systems seamlessly."
"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 features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse are the OSB framework, containerization, and the integration of Apache technologies such as the NQ channel, CXF, etc. These are the features that are very prominent in the solution. Red Hat Fuse also offers flexibility, so it's another valuable characteristic of the solution."
"I can't say that there is any improvement I’m looking for. I’m new and haven’t connected with all features. For all drawbacks that were in the old version, I think they have been solved. The scalability needs improvement."
"The version of the technology and current knowledge is a bit outdated."
"This solution would benefit from improvements to the configuration interface."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible."
"Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions."
"While it's a good platform, the pricing is a bit high."
"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."
"Our clients would like to see the user interface improved so that it is more user-friendly."
