We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus, JBoss ESB, and Oracle 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)."One of the most valuable features is how seamless and easy to use this solution is. This is a fantastic solution and a very measured product."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"Facilitates communication between parties and legacy systems."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"The solution addresses all of our middleware needs in respect of transformation, parsing, security and stability; everything really."
"The interface is quite stable."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"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."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The tracing and debugging features are not up to date with more modern technology available."
"I would rate the support from IBM Integration Bus a seven out of ten. They are very helpful but sometimes it takes too long for them to respond."
"It needs improvement in terms of technical support as well as in terms of integration of data mining. I am not convinced about many things in this solution, such as the conversion of the DFDL or copybook file, which is the conversion from a text file to XML. It is very complex. They should also provide more information about this solution in the IBM Knowledge Center. I can get a lot of information from the IBM Knowledge Center about DataStage, but I don't get that much information about IBM Integration Bus. There is hardly any information even on the internet and various channels such as YouTube. They can provide good step-by-step documentation based on a company's requirements. It would be really helpful. My company is mainly looking for data mining and communicating with multiple servers. IBM Integration Bus is good for communicating with multiple servers, but it needs improvement for XML conversion and data mining. We have a lot of old systems that use XML."
"Some of the runtime properties need to be improved because if you want to load certificates as sales security, you have to restart the server."
"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."
"Current aggregation implementation should be deprecated. MQ independent, as well as an intuitive solution, should be proposed."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"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 some loopholes in service and support."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"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."
