"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"I have found IBM Integration Bus is very useful because it can integrate multiple backend applications."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is clear and easy to learn."
"The product is a user-customized tool so that you can adjust it to your specific needs pretty well with little trouble."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"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 installation process is easy."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"I would like to be able to build an Integration Bus cluster that is active-active."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
