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 is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"like the API lead integration, which is more focused, and I also like real-time integration."
"Having the solution come from IBM you know you are receiving a product of quality in components and in the services, it is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable thing is the loose coupling and making the change in only one stack of the ESB layer or the middleware layer."
"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."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"This solution is very reliable and it is easy to learn."
"More than a feature, I would say that the reliability of the platform is the most valuable aspect."
"The solution is stable. We have gone for months or years without any issue. There are no memory restarts, so from my point of view, it's very stable."
"We usually had used PowerCenter for master data integration (by replication). But in some cases, it was better to use Fuse for providing the master data online. It doesn't make it necessary to replicate data."
"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."
"We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"Because we have been doing Red Hat Fuse projects for three years, and over time we have matured, we can employ similar use cases and make use of accelerators or templates. It gives us an edge when we deliver these services or APIs quickly."
"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."
"I found it was quite easy to set up and implement."
"The solution needs to simplify its documentation, such as the user and operation manuals, to make them even easier to understand."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"Recently, there was a lot of instability when selecting the solution they needed for testing."
"IBM could improve its connectivity."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"IBM does not support orchestration, which is how they designed it, and other BPM tools in the market support orchestration. If they merged the BPM capability into this product, then it would be a better 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 product lacks an integrated testing module."
"For improvement, they can consider the way we collaborate with other applications...Right now, in Red Hat Fuse, everything is not available under one umbrella."
"The solution will be discontinued in 2024."
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had."
"Our clients would like to see the user interface improved so that it is more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples from Red Hat Fuse."
"Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible."
"The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
