We performed a comparison between IBM DataPower Gateway and Red Hat Fuse 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 like the tool's security. Also, all functionalities are integrated within on platform."
"My company has a good impression of IBM DataPower Gateway. What I like about it is that because it's an appliance, it's a turnkey solution that's very fast and out of the box. Compared to other gateways, I also like that IBM DataPower Gateway is function-rich. For example, for one of the projects, there was a need for specific transformation and security features available in IBM DataPower Gateway out of the box, so my team just needed to configure the appliance. There was no need for separate development, and I found it quite neat. Another valuable feature of IBM DataPower Gateway is that it's easy to integrate with other products."
"The product's most valuable features are AAA policies and security features."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"I like all of the features in this product and it does what it's supposed to do."
"It is easy to use, easy to install, and it's resilient for high availability."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."
"The installation is quite okay. We don't really change much in the configuration. Most of the time, most of the settings remain with the default and we are able to handle our needs using the default setting."
"The initial setup process is quite straightforward."
"Because we have been doing Red Hat Fuse projects for three years, and over time we have matured, we can employ similar use cases and make use of accelerators or templates. It gives us an edge when we deliver these services or APIs quickly."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business."
"The solution has more tooling and options."
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours."
"The most valuable feature is that it's the same as Apache Camel."
"We are always looking for more features wherein it could be easily integrated with cloud applications. We are looking for either a cloud solution or a cloud integration option."
"The solution requires a lot of training manuals in order to get to know it better and to be able to use it effectively."
"Scripting needs improvement. It's hard for our customers."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible."
"The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
"The testing part, specifically when running it in the cloud, could be improved. It's a little bit complex, especially considering its cloud nature."
"The solution will be discontinued in 2024."
"Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions."
"The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."
"What needs to be improved in Red Hat Fuse is on the development side because when you use it for development purposes, it lacks a user interface compared to what MuleSoft has, so it's a bit difficult for users."
