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 ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most is the stability."
"I like all of the features in this product and it does what it's supposed to do."
"I like that it is very stable, and we never experience any downtime."
"Support for PCA and non-PCA services is valuable."
"Since it is a gateway, it provides a lot of security features."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"The solution has more tooling and options."
"Red Hat Fuse's best features are that it's very easy to set up and maintain."
"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."
"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 found it was quite easy to set up and implement."
"The initial setup process is quite straightforward."
"The features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse are the OSB framework, containerization, and the integration of Apache technologies such as the NQ channel, CXF, etc. These are the features that are very prominent in the solution. Red Hat Fuse also offers flexibility, so it's another valuable characteristic of the solution."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"Scripting needs improvement. It's hard for our customers."
"The product's cost for data appliances or hardware is quite high. It needs improvement."
"Its support services could be better."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"I would like the tool to improve its training."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions."
"I don't know the product last versions. I know they are migrating a microservices concepts. We still didn't get there... but we are in the process."
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had."
"In the next release, I'd like more stability and more security overall."
"The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation."
"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."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
