We performed a comparison between Aurea CX Messenger, IBM Integration Bus, 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)."The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"Promotes the reuse of developed resources to more efficiently consume resources."
"I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"The cost is pretty cheap, compared to what else is available in the market."
"The most valuable thing is the loose coupling and making the change in only one stack of the ESB layer or the middleware layer."
"The message queue, like, message queue connectors. Then they have a built in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP, oracle database, and this Civil connector is there. Of course, we have this SQL database connector So those built in connectors are there. For the almost most of the systems, we have built in connectors. And second thing is that it is a stateless Integration, so it doesn't maintain a state of the integration. Bus the Stitches Integration makes it very fast."
"The solution addresses all of our middleware needs in respect of transformation, parsing, security and stability; everything really."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"It is stable."
"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."
"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."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"The tracing and debugging features are not up to date with more modern technology available."
"IBM doesn't really have a very strong community surrounding the product. Most of its direct competitors are open source solutions, and those have an excellent and well-developed community around the tech to help users navigate the ins and outs of the product. IBM is lacking in this area."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"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."
"It provides all the features that are required for day-to-day work. So far, I haven't seen any major issues that impact our work. I have been told that IBM App Connect Enterprise, which is the next version of IIB, is really good. It is better than IIB, and it gives you more coverage in terms of application integration."
"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."
"The solution needs to simplify its documentation, such as the user and operation manuals, to make them even easier to understand."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"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."
"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."
