Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"It is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"Web interface, REST API for viewing services, admin, stats, and deployment are premium features, which makes IIB stand among its competition."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"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."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"IBM Integration Bus can improve JSON Schema validations. We don't have any kind of nodes that can support that kind of validation. If we want to containerize it by means of the docker's containers in the clouds, we are not able to manage it very well."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"The product does not provide API management."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"IBM Integration Bus could be easier to manage, but this is true of all vendors. It doesn't always do what it says on the box."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
