We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features I have found most valuable in this solution are transformation and routing."
"IBM Integration Bus has a complete set of tools that are implemented between rules when it comes to run time, but it's not easy to understand."
"Seamlessly integrates your different applications."
"The solution is stable and can scale relatively easily."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"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."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"It is stable."
"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."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"The product could be improved by including more resources on SQL."
"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."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"The user interface could be improved in a future release."
"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"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 performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"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 connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
