We performed a comparison between Fiorano ESB and IBM Integration Bus 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."One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."
"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."
"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."
"The product helps efficiently work with different connectors from different back-end systems."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"Seamlessly integrates your different applications."
"The solution's features are all quite useful. We use all of them."
"I found all features valuable. There are a lot of connectors."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"It is one of the most stable products which I have seen in the market."
"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."
"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."
"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 is complex and there is a need for more resources and greatly improved quality."
"In terms of improvement, the UI should be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"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."
"It needs improvement in terms of technical support as well as in terms of integration of data mining. I am not convinced about many things in this solution, such as the conversion of the DFDL or copybook file, which is the conversion from a text file to XML. It is very complex. They should also provide more information about this solution in the IBM Knowledge Center. I can get a lot of information from the IBM Knowledge Center about DataStage, but I don't get that much information about IBM Integration Bus. There is hardly any information even on the internet and various channels such as YouTube. They can provide good step-by-step documentation based on a company's requirements. It would be really helpful. My company is mainly looking for data mining and communicating with multiple servers. IBM Integration Bus is good for communicating with multiple servers, but it needs improvement for XML conversion and data mining. We have a lot of old systems that use XML."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
