We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus 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."I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"The solution addresses all of our middleware needs in respect of transformation, parsing, security and stability; everything really."
"Having the solution come from IBM you know you are receiving a product of quality in components and in the services, it is very good."
"It is one of the most stable products which I have seen in the market."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"The stability is excellent."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"IBM doesn't really have a very strong community surrounding the product. Most of its direct competitors are open source solutions, and those have an excellent and well-developed community around the tech to help users navigate the ins and outs of the product. IBM is lacking in this area."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"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."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
