Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."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."
"I recommend it for large enterprises but only for specific use cases. You need to have a relatively mature integration practice in your organization to leverage its capabilities fully."
"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 features of the IBM Integration Bus are the flexibility to easily integrate with other solutions, such as SAP or any other vendors."
"We can have multiple endpoints, and we can integrate different applications from different platforms. In a large-scale enterprise setup, it becomes so easy to establish communication between applications. You can connect an application to other applications, other legacy applications, and databases. You can also connect with those applications that are in the cloud. You can connect with other well-known applications, such as Salesforce, SAP, and Workday, by using IBM Integration Bus."
"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."
"It can be implemented as an enterprise service bus to seamlessly connect all applications within your enterprise."
"IBM Integration Bus has a complete set of tools that are implemented between rules when it comes to run time, but it's not easy to understand."
"I have found the best feature are the administrative controls."
"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."
"Sometimes migration takes too long."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"The tracing and debugging features are not up to date with more modern technology available."
"The product could be improved by including more resources on SQL."
"IBM Integration Bus can improve JSON Schema validations. We don't have any kind of nodes that can support that kind of validation. If we want to containerize it by means of the docker's containers in the clouds, we are not able to manage it very well."
"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."
