Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in ESB (Enterprise Service Bus)."One of the most valuable features is how seamless and easy to use this solution is. This is a fantastic solution and a very measured product."
"Facilitates communication between parties and legacy systems."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"It allows us to avoid the need for consumers to understand multiple API protocols and security arrangements, and in some circumstances can reduce the impact of systems being unavailable."
"Having the solution come from IBM you know you are receiving a product of quality in components and in the services, it is very good."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"I have found the inbound and outbound adapter confirmations valuable."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"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."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"It provides all the features that are required for day-to-day work. So far, I haven't seen any major issues that impact our work. I have been told that IBM App Connect Enterprise, which is the next version of IIB, is really good. It is better than IIB, and it gives you more coverage in terms of application integration."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"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."
"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."
