We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and webMethods Integration Server 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 stability is mostly pretty good."
"The message queue feature is very valuable."
"The interface is quite stable."
"Content is easily infiltrated in the eclipse infrastructure."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"The message queue, like, message queue connectors. Then they have a built in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP, oracle database, and this Civil connector is there. Of course, we have this SQL database connector So those built in connectors are there. For the almost most of the systems, we have built in connectors. And second thing is that it is a stateless Integration, so it doesn't maintain a state of the integration. Bus the Stitches Integration makes it very fast."
"The most valuable feature is the API integration."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"It is a very stable product."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I don't mind the pricing."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"Performance can be an issue sometimes. The tool occasionally crashes due to memory-related problems. We've reported these issues to IBM, and they are actively working on improving the tooling experience."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"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."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the pricing structure to make it more accessible."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"It is quite expensive."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"Support is expensive."
