Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"IBM Integration Bus has a complete set of tools that are implemented between rules when it comes to run time, but it's not easy to understand."
"The product is usually very easy to deploy."
"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."
"I really like SQL integration nodes, HTTP nodes, event handling, event monitoring, the performance of the solution."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"IBM support is fantastic and quick."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"This product uses the PVU (Processor Value Unit) license model from IBM, and it is something that should be improved."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"Sometimes migration takes too long."
"The user interface could be improved in a future release."
"Recently, there was a lot of instability when selecting the solution they needed for testing."
"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."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
