We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"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 stability is mostly pretty good."
"IBM Integration Bus's best feature is integration."
"Facilitates communication between parties and legacy systems."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"IBM Integration Bus has been effective in facilitating our messaging and service-oriented architecture (SOA) or bus architecture. So, we're already utilizing it to transform the data from the source it's sending. It converts the data from the format the source sends it into the format the destination system requires. So we are transforming the messages, which are required by the destination system; that's the one way."
"The cost is pretty cheap, compared to what else is available in the market."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"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 solution could improve by having built-in implementation and secure monitoring without the need for API Connect."
"We decided to move away from IBM Integration Bus for IT technical refreshments."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"IBM Integration Bus could be easier to manage, but this is true of all vendors. It doesn't always do what it says on the box."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"I would like for them to make the training much easier."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
