We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus 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."REST API design and development support are useful. Building and exposing APIs using GUI API designer with editor makes implementation a breeze."
"I found all features valuable. There are a lot of connectors."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are flexibility. It's also an alternative for integrating it with other projects, which we are not ready at this time to do, such as switching to tunnels. The tunnels would be used with other partners to make sure everything is secured."
"The interface is quite stable."
"IBM Integration Bus is a very strong tool."
"The features I have found most valuable in this solution are transformation and routing."
"The system's stability is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"Technical support is something that should be better."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"Its integration with Cloud Pak components could be better."
"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"The error-handling capability can be improved"
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
