We performed a comparison between IBM WebSphere Message Broker and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 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."Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"The solution has good integration."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The stability is excellent."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"I know that Message Broker was a very tightly copied product with another IBM product, that is, IBM MQ. I would like to have a little bit more decoupling from the IBM MQ because it should not be a prerequisite for IBM WebSphere Message Broker usage."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
