We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and IBM WebSphere Message Broker 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."The message queue connectors are the most valuable feature. They have built-in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP and Oracle Database."
"The most valuable thing is the loose coupling and making the change in only one stack of the ESB layer or the middleware layer."
"IBM Integration Bus has a complete set of tools that are implemented between rules when it comes to run time, but it's not easy to understand."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"The features I have found most valuable in this solution are transformation and routing."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are the flexibility to easily integrate with other solutions, such as SAP or any other vendors."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"The solution has good integration."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"The product does not provide API management."
"Current aggregation implementation should be deprecated. MQ independent, as well as an intuitive solution, should be proposed."
"I would like to see more metered rest and API support. IBM is already working on it on Version 11, but it still needs improvement."
"The password settings need improvement."
"The performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"The version of the technology and current knowledge is a bit outdated."
"We have come across many customer complaints about the excessive time it takes for IBM to provide customer and technical support."
"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."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
