Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours.""We usually had used PowerCenter for master data integration (by replication). But in some cases, it was better to use Fuse for providing the master data online. It doesn't make it necessary to replicate data.""The most valuable feature is the software development environment.""The most valuable part of Fuse is the fact that it's based on Red Hat Apache Camel. It is really good that it already comes with so many different connectors. That makes it relatively easy to use. We use their XML definition to define the routes, making it really easy to define the routing.""The most valuable feature is that it's the same as Apache Camel.""The solution has more tooling and options.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business.""We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."

"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things.""It was mostly easy to set up the product.""It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well.""It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations.""The solution basically conforms to our standards.""The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

Cons
"For improvement, they can consider the way we collaborate with other applications...Right now, in Red Hat Fuse, everything is not available under one umbrella.""There is definitely a bit of a learning curve.""Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications.""Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions.""In the next release, I'd like more stability and more security overall.""My company doesn't have any experience with other messaging tools, so it's difficult to mention what areas could be improved in Red Hat Fuse, but it could be pricing because I find it expensive.""The pricing model could be adjusted. The price should be lower.""The monitoring experience should be better."

More Red Hat Fuse Cons →

"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.""In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience.""There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced.""The customization can be a bit difficult.""They should release upgrades more frequently.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We found other solutions were more costly."
  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "After doing some Googling and comparisons, the main standouts were MuleSoft and Red Hat Fuse. One of the big factors in our decision to go with Fuse was the licensing cost. It was cheaper to go with Fuse."
  • "Pricing has been something that we have been working with Red Hat on, year over year. We have preferred pricing with the university because we are involved in education and research."
  • "This is an expensive product. It costs a lot and although it's worth the money, the explanations that we need to give to our top executives are highly complicated."
  • "The most important feature of Fuse is the cost. It is open source and a cheap option for an ESB. So, most of the clients in the Middle East and Asian countries prefer this ESB. Other ESBs, like MuleSoft and IBM API Connect, are pretty expensive. Because it is open source, Red Hat Fuse is the cheapest solution, providing almost every integration capability."
  • "My company pays for the license of Red Hat Fuse yearly. At the end of the day, it's a low-cost solution, and its support licenses are still very decently priced versus bigger operators such as IBM, etc. Red Hat Fuse is much more affordable than other solutions. On a scale of one to five, with one being cheap and five being extremely expensive, I'm rating its pricing a one."
  • "Red Hat Fuse is an expensive tool, though I cannot answer how much it costs as that's confidential."

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "It is a low-cost solution."
  • "The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
