We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and JBoss ESB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."One of the most valuable features is how seamless and easy to use this solution is. This is a fantastic solution and a very measured product."
"The features I have found most valuable in this solution are transformation and routing."
"The message queue feature is very valuable."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"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."
"Easy to understand documentation with a huge list of examples and tutorials."
"This solution is very reliable and it is easy to learn."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are flexibility. It's also an alternative for integrating it with other projects, which we are not ready at this time to do, such as switching to tunnels. The tunnels would be used with other partners to make sure everything is secured."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"Sometimes migration takes too long."
"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."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"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."
"The solution is complex and there is a need for more resources and greatly improved quality."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
