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."It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"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 documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The stability is excellent."
"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."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"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."
"The installation configuration is quite difficult."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"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."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
