We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and webMethods Integration Server 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 feature is very valuable."
"I use the integration of Kafka and the message flow, which is really good. It is also good for moving any file from one location to another. Using IBM Integration Bus in the data stage is pretty simple. You can see the preview and other things. The MQ server integrated with IBM Integration Bus is really great. I don't have to do a lot of configuration from that side. It is really good."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"Seamlessly integrates your different applications."
"I am into microservices using Java Spring Boot, but if we are using legacy systems, IBM Integration Bus is very good for them. They have their own computational logic called EC12, their own proprietary language. You can do any kind of complex logic and can implement other ESVs that I have seen."
"The message queue connectors are the most valuable feature. They have built-in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP and Oracle Database."
"One of the most valuable features is how seamless and easy to use this solution is. This is a fantastic solution and a very measured product."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"Some of the runtime properties need to be improved because if you want to load certificates as sales security, you have to restart the server."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be improved in a future release."
"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."
"The product does not provide API management."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"The cloud deployment of the IBM Integration Bus should be made easier."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
