We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus, Mule ESB, and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."It can be implemented as an enterprise service bus to seamlessly connect all applications within your enterprise."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"like the API lead integration, which is more focused, and I also like real-time integration."
"One of the most valuable features is App Connect Enterprise makes it possible to deploy it in the OpenShift cluster, which is very good. Overall the solution is very flexible."
"The solution's features are all quite useful. We use all of them."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"One drawback that I have found is that there are issues with using the Java connector."
"I don't mind the pricing."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"We decided to move away from IBM Integration Bus for IT technical refreshments."
"I would rate the support from IBM Integration Bus a seven out of ten. They are very helpful but sometimes it takes too long for them to respond."
"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."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the generator for the DataWeave language so that it's a little more graphic."
"Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule."
"The payment system needs improvement."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"We would like the ability to use our own code. This would allow us to develop customizations with ease. Additionally, it would be nice to have more analytics or insights on the exchanged information between databases."
"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
