We performed a comparison between IBM WebSphere Message Broker and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"The solution has good integration."
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"The product is reliable."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The program is scalable."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"The installation configuration is quite difficult."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data."
"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."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"I think the support could be much better."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
