We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus, Mule ESB, and SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite 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)."I use the integration of Kafka and the message flow, which is really good. It is also good for moving any file from one location to another. Using IBM Integration Bus in the data stage is pretty simple. You can see the preview and other things. The MQ server integrated with IBM Integration Bus is really great. I don't have to do a lot of configuration from that side. It is really good."
"The multi-approach and the multi-capabilities are valuable."
"The product is a user-customized tool so that you can adjust it to your specific needs pretty well with little trouble."
"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 interface is quite stable."
"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."
"It is very straightforward. It is very user-friendly integration."
"The product is usually very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"It was pretty fast to develop APIs on this platform, which is something I liked about it. So, the time to value was pretty good."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Scalability and load balancing."
"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) also allowed us to connect EDI vendors at will."
"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations. It is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files. Across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."
"It's a very robust solution and it's very configurable. Before this product we would use an ESB-type of solution which required us to write code and go through a process. We can configure the SEEBURGER solution much more easily, instead of writing code... It can handle large files very well."
"One valuable feature is the scalability. We have not had to add processing power or hardware since we installed it. Also, we are able to create and deploy maps to migrate from another EDI platform very quickly."
"We can code in Java, which is really good feature. There is very vast command available, which can be used in mapping."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"With SEEBURGER BIS, you can string as many different activities together in your workflows as you want. You can put them in any order, like a piece of code. One leads into the next, which leads into the next. It is just very flexible from that vantage point. This makes it so easy to use and reduces the number of moving parts that you need to have. It is just a lot less frustrating not having to conform to how some other vendor software works."
"We haven't had any issues with scaling."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"The version of the technology and current knowledge is a bit outdated."
"This solution would benefit from improvements to the configuration interface."
"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."
"We decided to move away from IBM Integration Bus for IT technical refreshments."
"The solution could improve by having built-in implementation and secure monitoring without the need for API Connect."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"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."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"Community editions need more attention."
"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."
"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."
"Some of the functionality for retriggering documents, where you have to step through a termination process and then retrigger it, versus just being able to restart or retrigger more easily, is a bit challenging, depending on the scenario."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file. This is still something that is in process."
"The ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."
"When we got SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS), it was clear that it was going to take more of a technical person. It does take a technically-rooted individual to operate it. It's not something for your everyday guy to do. For what it's doing for us, a dedicated resource is required."
"We wanted to use API. We were told that in 6.52 we could use API management. Later on, we found that API management wasn't that completely integrated into the 6.52 solution, and if you wanted to have the whole API suite you might have to go to 6.7, the latest one."
