We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus 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."The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"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."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"It makes the communication between multiple and heterogeneous applications so easy. We can bring together different messages and applications from different platforms and connect them through IBM Integration Bus."
"It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."
"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"
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"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 user interface could be improved in a future release."
"Current aggregation implementation should be deprecated. MQ independent, as well as an intuitive solution, should be proposed."
"IBM could improve its connectivity."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"Today, the IBM business rule engine, the DataPower is outside the Enterprise Service Bus. It's sold as a different feature or application. If it could be integrated, then it's able to handle a lot more of what we are doing now rather than just have a stateless ESB that you can't do much on, and a set of normal business rules."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"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."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
