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 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I found all features valuable. There are a lot of connectors."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are flexibility. It's also an alternative for integrating it with other projects, which we are not ready at this time to do, such as switching to tunnels. The tunnels would be used with other partners to make sure everything is secured."
"Having the solution come from IBM you know you are receiving a product of quality in components and in the services, it is very good."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"The product is usually very easy to deploy."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"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."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"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."
"IBM could improve its connectivity."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"It would be beneficial for it to function more as an iPaaS, with the runtime available in the cloud, potentially on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud."
"We decided to move away from IBM Integration Bus for IT technical refreshments."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"Sometimes migration takes too long."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"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."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"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."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"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 support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
