We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and IBM WebSphere Message Broker 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."It is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"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 can be implemented as an enterprise service bus to seamlessly connect all applications within your enterprise."
"The solution addresses all of our middleware needs in respect of transformation, parsing, security and stability; everything really."
"The solution's features are all quite useful. We use all of them."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective."
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"They should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries."
"We have come across many customer complaints about the excessive time it takes for IBM to provide customer and technical support."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"The performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"We have to stop the integration server to start the debugging process."
"IBM doesn't really have a very strong community surrounding the product. Most of its direct competitors are open source solutions, and those have an excellent and well-developed community around the tech to help users navigate the ins and outs of the product. IBM is lacking in this area."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"I know that Message Broker was a very tightly copied product with another IBM product, that is, IBM MQ. I would like to have a little bit more decoupling from the IBM MQ because it should not be a prerequisite for IBM WebSphere Message Broker usage."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
