Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the API integration."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"Content is easily infiltrated in the eclipse infrastructure."
"The Cloud Pak for Integration is a useful feature."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"I have found the best feature are the administrative controls."
"The password settings need improvement."
"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."
"We decided to move away from IBM Integration Bus for IT technical refreshments."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"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."
"The solution needs to simplify its documentation, such as the user and operation manuals, to make them even easier to understand."
"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."
"We have to stop the integration server to start the debugging process."
"This solution is running on the Eclipse platform and this is where all the designing takes place. The Eclipse performance should be improved. The Open Studio tool we have been using for the development is not up to the industry standard and the performance should be improved."
