We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and JBoss ESB 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 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."
"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."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"The product is usually very easy to deploy."
"IBM Integration Bus is a very strong tool."
"The cost is pretty cheap, compared to what else is available in the market."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"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."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"The user interface could be improved in a future release."
"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."
"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."
