Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"The most valuable thing is the loose coupling and making the change in only one stack of the ESB layer or the middleware layer."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"The message queue connectors are the most valuable feature. They have built-in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP and Oracle Database."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"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 Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"They need to come up with Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). It should also have a feature for integrating with those applications that are on the cloud."
"The performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"There are a couple of things I want improved, but I think they have already touched upon all those things in the most recent version. I'm not using the most recent version—I use a version older than the most recent—but I'm sure that if I looked into and explored it, I would see more support on the CI/CD and more support for unit testing automation. I've read that they released all these things in the new version of App Connect. Once I explore the new version of this tool, I'll probably have a better idea of suggested improvements."
"I would like to see more metered rest and API support. IBM is already working on it on Version 11, but it still needs improvement."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"IBM doesn't really have a very strong community surrounding the product. Most of its direct competitors are open source solutions, and those have an excellent and well-developed community around the tech to help users navigate the ins and outs of the product. IBM is lacking in this area."
"I would like to be able to run and install this solution on different platforms."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"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."
