Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the software development environment.""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.""The initial setup process is quite straightforward.""The support training that comes with the product is amazing.""The most valuable part of Fuse is the fact that it's based on Red Hat Apache Camel. It is really good that it already comes with so many different connectors. That makes it relatively easy to use. We use their XML definition to define the routes, making it really easy to define the routing.""We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business.""The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful."

Cons
"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.""Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible.""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.""Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications.""The testing part, specifically when running it in the cloud, could be improved. It's a little bit complex, especially considering its cloud nature.""My company doesn't have any experience with other messaging tools, so it's difficult to mention what areas could be improved in Red Hat Fuse, but it could be pricing because I find it expensive.""The solution will be discontinued in 2024.""The stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."

"This solution is running on the Eclipse platform and this is where all the designing takes place. The Eclipse performance should be improved. The Open Studio tool we have been using for the development is not up to the industry standard and the performance should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We found other solutions were more costly."
  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "After doing some Googling and comparisons, the main standouts were MuleSoft and Red Hat Fuse. One of the big factors in our decision to go with Fuse was the licensing cost. It was cheaper to go with Fuse."
  • "Pricing has been something that we have been working with Red Hat on, year over year. We have preferred pricing with the university because we are involved in education and research."
  • "This is an expensive product. It costs a lot and although it's worth the money, the explanations that we need to give to our top executives are highly complicated."
  • "The most important feature of Fuse is the cost. It is open source and a cheap option for an ESB. So, most of the clients in the Middle East and Asian countries prefer this ESB. Other ESBs, like MuleSoft and IBM API Connect, are pretty expensive. Because it is open source, Red Hat Fuse is the cheapest solution, providing almost every integration capability."
  • "My company pays for the license of Red Hat Fuse yearly. At the end of the day, it's a low-cost solution, and its support licenses are still very decently priced versus bigger operators such as IBM, etc. Red Hat Fuse is much more affordable than other solutions. On a scale of one to five, with one being cheap and five being extremely expensive, I'm rating its pricing a one."
  • "Red Hat Fuse is an expensive tool, though I cannot answer how much it costs as that's confidential."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The process workflow, where we can orchestrate and design the application by defining different routes, is really useful.
    Top Answer:You need to pay for the license. It's not free. I'm not aware of the exact prices. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing since it is a subscription-based solution.
    Top Answer:I haven't experienced the online part of Red Hat Fuse. Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications. Using administrative control, the operational user can view… more »
