IBM Integration Bus Room for Improvement

Harm Van Der Gugten - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at Talipoint (Pty) Ltd

The solution needs instruction or guidance. While you're building, without referring back to training, you should get more guidance from the solution towards the next step. From an analyst's perspective, where you get stuck is not the system. If a team has been trained on the solution and they get stuck, it's because they don't know the next thing to do. When you get stuck, the solution should tell you, "You need to do XYZ to not be stuck." The solution should have fulfillment guidance.

Performance can be an issue sometimes. The tool occasionally crashes due to memory-related problems. We've reported these issues to IBM, and they are actively working on improving the tooling experience.

It would be great to see better memory management to avoid these crashes.

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. This approach enables broader accessibility, allowing more users to leverage the service.

IBM Integration Bus can improve JSON Schema validations. We don't have any kind of nodes that can support that kind of validation. If we want to containerize it by means of the docker's containers in the clouds, we are not able to manage it very well.

In a future update, IBM Integration Bus could add better API management. It only supports Swagger at this time.

I can't say that there is any improvement I’m looking for. I’m new and haven’t connected with all features. For all drawbacks that were in the old version, I think they have been solved. 

The scalability needs improvement.

The Toolkit itself is based on Eclipse and Java, and it does not respond sometimes. When we are working on the Toolkit using or working on our PCs or remote desktop the program has issues with performance. The performance needs to be enhanced. More labs for developers who want to learn about this technology for trial. They may provide a trial version of App Connect or Toolkit to try it for themselves.

We would like to separate the services into different containers, and we don't have this ability right now on IBM Integration Bus. We are currently doing this as an organization, and IBM is setting up the OpenShift.

The version of the technology and current knowledge is a bit outdated. There is also no DevOps, and the process of deploying that is the downside. Regarding additional features, we would like better integration with external solutions like Apache Kafka.

IBM Integration Bus doesn’t provide some features that MuleSoft provides. These features should be added to the solution.

The product does not provide API management. We have to use a separate tool called API Connect for our needs. It would be good if IBM could combine these tools.

The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code.

The solution's integration with Cloud Pak components could be better. Also, it needs improvement in terms of microservices.

We have to stop the integration server to start the debugging process. The debugging mechanism of other products is better than that of IBM.

The configuration could be improved. If you build an option in the toolkit, such as a health configuration, we should load the command and configure it. We should then just run checks, and the configuration should be completed.

IBM Integration Bus needs to be more compatible with stable connectors for specific domains. For instance, it has two protocols: ISO 8583, a legacy protocol, and ISO 2022, which works on XML for the finance sector. Similarly, they should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries.

IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve. In the next release, IBM Integration Bus should support microservice architecture.

Some of the runtime properties need to be improved because if you want to load certificates as sales security, you have to restart the server. There are also some bugs with file transfer protocol.

The product could be improved by including more resources on SQL and improving the simplicity of the resources available. Additionally, the price can be reduced.
