Considered Both Products
Apache Camel
Chose Apache Camel
Easier to use, better routing system, but perhaps too basic dependant on business needs?
Chose Apache Camel
If you are looking for a Java-based open source low cost equivalent to webMethods or Azure Logic Apps, Apache Camel is an excellent choice as it is mature and widely deployed, and included in many vendored Java application servers too such as Redhat JBoss EAP. Apache Camel is …
Chose Apache Camel
working with Apache's TomCat server, our developer found it most easy given the UI of Camel to perform integration and data processing tasks. when compared to the other two softwares they felt the need to learn new tools outside of Apache family can be avoided and with kafka, …
Chose Apache Camel
WebSphere Message Broker - Expensive, old, hard to use, bad connectors
Mulesoft - Very similar to Camel, but expensive and buggy
Chose Apache Camel
We did a comparison of the two products with an example application that tested about 10 distinct EIP pattern. We wrote Camel in XML and Java DSL and SI in XML. This was about 3 years ago. At the time, I found the threading model in SI to be more intuitive and Camel's seda. …
Chose Apache Camel
Akka or Spring Integration/ XD are alternatives to Apache Camel and very good frameworks on their own (especially Akka which provides a single threaded illusion).
Chose Apache Camel
We chose Apache Camel because it was lightweight, easy to get started with and because it had a groovy DSL since we were a grails shop when we started using it.
Chose Apache Camel
Apache Camel has been the integration framework of choice, but I was not the person to make the decision to use it. Compared to other competing products like Tibco Business Works, etc., it is free and open source and its licensing policy is acceptable to the management of Cox.
Chose Apache Camel
Esper is only similar in that they both are involved in complex even processing, however Esper's aim is a little more complex and specialized. In general however I found Apache Camel to be much easier to understand, implement and debug, whereas Esper's DSL can get very …

User Testimonials
Apache CamelElevate EDI
Likelihood to Recommend
Message brokering across different systems, with transactionality and the ability to have fine tuned control over what happens using Java (or other languages), instead of a heavy, proprietary languages. One situation that it doesn't fit very well (as far as I have experienced) is when your workflow requires significant data mapping. While possible when using Java tooling, some other visual data mapping tools in other integration frameworks are easier to work with.

Cons
  • Some of the documentation is a little sparse. In particular, its TCP-based routes use an underlying Netty server, and the interactions between Netty's decoder capabilities and Apache Camel's routing/handler capabilities can be a little muddy at times. In general it is clear which routes and endpoints are the more frequently used and which haven't been given as much attention.

Return on Investment
  • Very fast time to market in that so many components are available to use immediately.
  • Error handling mechanisms and patterns of practice are robust and easy to use which in turn has made our application more robust from the start, so fewer bugs.
  • However, testing and debugging routes is more challenging than working is standard Java so that takes more time (less time than writing the components from scratch).
  • Most people don't know Camel coming in and many junior developers find it overwhelming and are not enthusiastic to learn it. So finding people that want to develop/maintain it is a challenge.
