Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The most valuable feature is the API integration."
"We can have multiple endpoints, and we can integrate different applications from different platforms. In a large-scale enterprise setup, it becomes so easy to establish communication between applications. You can connect an application to other applications, other legacy applications, and databases. You can also connect with those applications that are in the cloud. You can connect with other well-known applications, such as Salesforce, SAP, and Workday, by using IBM Integration Bus."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"like the API lead integration, which is more focused, and I also like real-time integration."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"REST API design and development support are useful. Building and exposing APIs using GUI API designer with editor makes implementation a breeze."
"It is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"The product helps efficiently work with different connectors from different back-end systems."
"I have found the best feature are the administrative controls."
"They need to come up with Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). It should also have a feature for integrating with those applications that are on the cloud."
"There are a couple of things I want improved, but I think they have already touched upon all those things in the most recent version. I'm not using the most recent version—I use a version older than the most recent—but I'm sure that if I looked into and explored it, I would see more support on the CI/CD and more support for unit testing automation. I've read that they released all these things in the new version of App Connect. Once I explore the new version of this tool, I'll probably have a better idea of suggested improvements."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"In terms of improvement, the UI should be more user-friendly."
"Current aggregation implementation should be deprecated. MQ independent, as well as an intuitive solution, should be proposed."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"The password settings need improvement."
"It provides all the features that are required for day-to-day work. So far, I haven't seen any major issues that impact our work. I have been told that IBM App Connect Enterprise, which is the next version of IIB, is really good. It is better than IIB, and it gives you more coverage in terms of application integration."
"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."
