We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus, Oracle Service Bus, and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The product helps efficiently work with different connectors from different back-end systems."
"I am into microservices using Java Spring Boot, but if we are using legacy systems, IBM Integration Bus is very good for them. They have their own computational logic called EC12, their own proprietary language. You can do any kind of complex logic and can implement other ESVs that I have seen."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"IBM Integration Bus has been effective in facilitating our messaging and service-oriented architecture (SOA) or bus architecture. So, we're already utilizing it to transform the data from the source it's sending. It converts the data from the format the source sends it into the format the destination system requires. So we are transforming the messages, which are required by the destination system; that's the one way."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"The message queue feature is very valuable."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"
"It's very stable and reliable."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"The solution needs to simplify its documentation, such as the user and operation manuals, to make them even easier to understand."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"I would like to be able to run and install this solution on different platforms."
"I think security should be more simplified."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"I would like to see more metered rest and API support. IBM is already working on it on Version 11, but it still needs improvement."
"They should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries."
"What needs improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the connectivity between adapters such as the Salesforce adapter and database adapters. The limited number of adapters compatible with Oracle Service Bus makes you want to switch to a different solution."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
"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."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
