IBM WebSphere Message Broker vs WSO2 Enterprise Integrator comparison

"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 documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."

"Straightforward development and deployment."

"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."

"The solution has good integration."

"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."

"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."

"It's reliable for our day-to-day operations, ensuring fast and secure data integration across different systems."

"The customer service executives are very responsive."

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"The installation process is easy."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."

"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."

"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."

"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."

"The installation configuration is quite difficult."

"There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data."

"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."

"The product's features are not being upgraded or enhanced by the vendor"

"The solution can add container engines such as docker."

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The solution is expensive."

"This product is more expensive than competing products."

"IBM software can be costly, but having a contract has helped manage and potentially lower costs over time."

"IBM products are generally more stable and have more features, but also come at a greater cost."

"The licensing cost of IBM WebSphere Message Broker needs to be reduced"

"I feel with IBM, when you want certain functions or features, you have to continuously purchase add-ons. There are always additional fees."

"The price is very high and it's the main reason that we are searching for alternatives."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"It is a low-cost solution."
