Taking into account the technical aspect of IBM WebSphere Message Broker as a stand-alone solution, it has proven to be extremely stable and of high quality. However, in comparison to its industry competitors, such as MuleSoft or other ESB solutions, the issue with IBM is that they frequently release new versions of the solution, resulting in the need for updates that must be done frequently, thus causing an increase in license costs due to the support of older versions, ultimately leading to required upgrades. Consequently, IBM is falling behind its competitors in this area. We would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"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."

Room for Improvement

"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"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."

Pricing

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