We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and webMethods Integration Server 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."This solution is very reliable and it is easy to learn."
"One of the most valuable features is App Connect Enterprise makes it possible to deploy it in the OpenShift cluster, which is very good. Overall the solution is very flexible."
"I found all features valuable. There are a lot of connectors."
"The message queue feature is very valuable."
"The interface is quite stable."
"Promotes the reuse of developed resources to more efficiently consume resources."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"Seamlessly integrates your different applications."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"The stability is good."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"I don't mind the pricing."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"This solution would benefit from improvements to the configuration interface."
"The tracing and debugging features are not up to date with more modern technology available."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"IBM Integration Bus could be easier to manage, but this is true of all vendors. It doesn't always do what it says on the box."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."
"It is quite expensive."
