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 product is a user-customized tool so that you can adjust it to your specific needs pretty well with little trouble."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"IBM Integration Bus is a very strong tool."
"This solution is very reliable and it is easy to learn."
"I recommend it for large enterprises but only for specific use cases. You need to have a relatively mature integration practice in your organization to leverage its capabilities fully."
"One of the most valuable features is App Connect Enterprise makes it possible to deploy it in the OpenShift cluster, which is very good. Overall the solution is very flexible."
"It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"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."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"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."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
