"IBM Integration Bus is a very strong tool."
"The features I have found most valuable in this solution are transformation and routing."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is App Connect Enterprise makes it possible to deploy it in the OpenShift cluster, which is very good. Overall the solution is very flexible."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"It is one of the most stable products which I have seen in the market."
"The system's stability is the most valuable feature."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."

"Recently, there was a lot of instability when selecting the solution they needed for testing."
"The password settings need improvement."
"Its integration with Cloud Pak components could be better."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"Development toolkit (based on Eclipse) should be improved in terms of responsiveness."
"We have come across many customer complaints about the excessive time it takes for IBM to provide customer and technical support."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
