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."The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"The interface is quite stable."
"like the API lead integration, which is more focused, and I also like real-time integration."
"I use the integration of Kafka and the message flow, which is really good. It is also good for moving any file from one location to another. Using IBM Integration Bus in the data stage is pretty simple. You can see the preview and other things. The MQ server integrated with IBM Integration Bus is really great. I don't have to do a lot of configuration from that side. It is really good."
"Web interface, REST API for viewing services, admin, stats, and deployment are premium features, which makes IIB stand among its competition."
"It can be implemented as an enterprise service bus to seamlessly connect all applications within your enterprise."
"The stability is mostly pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."
"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
"They should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries."
"IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"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."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"Some of the runtime properties need to be improved because if you want to load certificates as sales security, you have to restart the server."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"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."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."
