We performed a comparison between OpenESB and Red Hat Fuse 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)."One of the most valuable features is being able to implement business processes while keeping track of the design from BPMN to a BPEL Implementation."
"The process-oriented solution allows you to define choreography and orchestration."
"OpenESB pushes the organization to clearly define service boundaries and interfaces. So it motives the business and the development teams to clearly define their business services and processes they want to implement. OpenESB supports fine and coarse-grain granularity for the services and supports top-down and bottom-up approaches for the services, processes definition, and composition."
"The core is very stable."
"The stability has been good."
"It's very lightweight. There's no need for any specialized tools in order to deploy any service for Red Hat Fuse."
"The support training that comes with the product is amazing."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business."
"I found it was quite easy to set up and implement."
"We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"More than a feature, I would say that the reliability of the platform is the most valuable aspect."
"One of the features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse is that it has a lot of containers so you won't have to worry about load balancing. In the past, there was a cut-off, but nowadays, Red Hat Fuse is moving off of that, so my team is utilizing it the most for load balancing, particularly running goal applications and three to five containers. There's automatic load balancing so you won't have to worry too much. I also found that component-wise, you don't have to do much coding in Red Hat Fuse because everything is configurable, for example, XML-based coding. Coding isn't that difficult. Performance-wise, I also found the solution to be quite good and its processing is quite fast. My team is processing a huge amount of data with the help of Red Hat Fuse."
"The documentation needs to be better."
"Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great."
"The documentation of the product must be improved. It could be tricky to find the right documentation on a topic since the documentation is spread in many places. I advise the new joiner to contact the community to get entry points and additional documentation. Tutorial and Video must be present to take up the product."
"Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved."
"What needs to be improved in Red Hat Fuse is on the development side because when you use it for development purposes, it lacks a user interface compared to what MuleSoft has, so it's a bit difficult for users."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
"Red Hat is not easy to learn. You can learn it but you sometimes need external expertise to implement solutions."
"The documentation for Fuse can be improved because, while it is very detailed and extensive, it is not too intuitive for someone that has to deliver some kind of troubleshooting services. In particular, for installation, re-installation, or upgrades, I find that the documentation can be improved."
"Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications."
"I would like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples from Red Hat Fuse."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."
"While it's a good platform, the pricing is a bit high."
