We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and Red Hat Fuse 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 most valuable feature is that it's robust and its time to market is very short."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are flexibility. It's also an alternative for integrating it with other projects, which we are not ready at this time to do, such as switching to tunnels. The tunnels would be used with other partners to make sure everything is secured."
"It has the ability to be deployed without rewriting the code."
"The product is a user-customized tool so that you can adjust it to your specific needs pretty well with little trouble."
"The cost is pretty cheap, compared to what else is available in the market."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"like the API lead integration, which is more focused, and I also like real-time integration."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours."
"The initial setup process is quite straightforward."
"This solution's adaptability to our use case has helped us integrate our systems seamlessly."
"The features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse are the OSB framework, containerization, and the integration of Apache technologies such as the NQ channel, CXF, etc. These are the features that are very prominent in the solution. Red Hat Fuse also offers flexibility, so it's another valuable characteristic of the solution."
"Red Hat Fuse's best features are that it's very easy to set up and maintain."
"The solution has more tooling and options."
"More than a feature, I would say that the reliability of the platform is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"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."
"Migrating to this solution is complex and it would be helpful if they had a way to convert existing integrations."
"They should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries."
"The performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from improvements to the configuration interface."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I would rate the support from IBM Integration Bus a seven out of ten. They are very helpful but sometimes it takes too long for them to respond."
"The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."
"In the next release, I'd like more stability and more security overall."
"The solution will be discontinued in 2024."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
"The pricing model could be adjusted. The price should be lower."
"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 stability of the solution is an area with a shortcoming that needs to be improved."
