We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support training that comes with the product is amazing.""The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful.""What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive.""This solution's adaptability to our use case has helped us integrate our systems seamlessly.""We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten.""The features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse are the OSB framework, containerization, and the integration of Apache technologies such as the NQ channel, CXF, etc. These are the features that are very prominent in the solution. Red Hat Fuse also offers flexibility, so it's another valuable characteristic of the solution.""With a premium, one can get support 24 hours.""More than a feature, I would say that the reliability of the platform is the most valuable aspect."

"The customer service executives are very responsive.""The solution's customer service is good.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""The installation process is easy.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well.""It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system.""It was mostly easy to set up the product."

Cons
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had.""While it's a good platform, the pricing is a bit high.""What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented.""Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible.""For improvement, they can consider the way we collaborate with other applications...Right now, in Red Hat Fuse, everything is not available under one umbrella.""The web tools need to be updated.""There is definitely a bit of a learning curve.""I would like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples from Red Hat Fuse."

More Red Hat Fuse Cons →

"The integration capabilities need to be improved.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me.""You cannot include the validation of XPath.""One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach.""The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it.""They should introduce better pricing for small companies.""The customization can be a bit difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We found other solutions were more costly."
  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "After doing some Googling and comparisons, the main standouts were MuleSoft and Red Hat Fuse. One of the big factors in our decision to go with Fuse was the licensing cost. It was cheaper to go with Fuse."
  • "Pricing has been something that we have been working with Red Hat on, year over year. We have preferred pricing with the university because we are involved in education and research."
  • "This is an expensive product. It costs a lot and although it's worth the money, the explanations that we need to give to our top executives are highly complicated."
  • "The most important feature of Fuse is the cost. It is open source and a cheap option for an ESB. So, most of the clients in the Middle East and Asian countries prefer this ESB. Other ESBs, like MuleSoft and IBM API Connect, are pretty expensive. Because it is open source, Red Hat Fuse is the cheapest solution, providing almost every integration capability."
  • "My company pays for the license of Red Hat Fuse yearly. At the end of the day, it's a low-cost solution, and its support licenses are still very decently priced versus bigger operators such as IBM, etc. Red Hat Fuse is much more affordable than other solutions. On a scale of one to five, with one being cheap and five being extremely expensive, I'm rating its pricing a one."
  • "Red Hat Fuse is an expensive tool, though I cannot answer how much it costs as that's confidential."

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "It is a low-cost solution."
  • "The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
