We performed a comparison between IBM WebSphere Message Broker and Oracle 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 transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"It is stable."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
