JBossESB is the next generation of EAI - better and without the vendor-lockin characteristics of old. As such, many of the capabilities mirror those of existing EAI offerings: Business Process Monitoring, Integrated Development Environment, Human Workflow User Interface, Business Process Management, Connectors, Transaction Manager, Security, Application Container, Messaging Service, Metadata Repository, Naming and Directory Service, Distributed Computing Architecture. Plus JBossESB is part of an SOI (Service Oriented Infrastructure). However, SOA is not simply a technology or a product: it's a style of design, with many aspects (such as architectural, methodological and organisational) unrelated to the actual technology.
As of August 2025, the mindshare of JBoss ESB in the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) category
stands at 3.3%, up from 2.1% compared to the previous year, according to calculations based on PeerSpot user engagement data.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
Room for Improvement
"JBoss ESB should focus on startup and performance as EAP is heavier than lightweight Java frameworks, which impacts microservices and cloud environments."
"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."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
