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.Incentivized
These complex event processing platforms have the ability to process to multiple streams of data with low latency and ability to scale up well. It provides the ability to analyze streaming data real time and establish/investigate patterns with this streaming data and also deals with high-speed data very well.Incentivized
Camel has an easy learning curve. It is fairly well documented and there are about 5-6 books on Camel.There is a large user group and blogs devoted to all things Camel and the developers of Camel provide quick answers and have also been very quick to patch Camel, when bugs are reported.Camel integrates well with well known frameworks like Spring, and other middleware products like Apache Karaf and Servicemix.There are over 150 components for the Camel framework that help integrate with diverse software platforms.Camel is also good for creating microservices.Incentivized
Ability to capture data and investigate data for pattern fairly quicklyIntegrates well with Sybase databaseAbility to do data modelingIncentivized
didn't work well when our developers tried to transform heavy data setsApache Camel's whole logic is based on java so team needs to have a great skill set in javaif there are a handful of workflows then Apache Camel's full potential can't be realizedIncentivized
Configuring data streams could be made more intuitive to usersSometimes debugger tools are very slowIncentivized
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 lacking on the GUI tooling side compared to commercial products such as webMethods or Azure Logic Apps. Incentivized
IBM WebSphere business elements which was more complex to set up and also more expensive especially in a large SAP environment, We were also looking to get ramped up with the product with minimal learning curve especially with good documentation available to get started with the product as well as the ability to deploy and maintain with relative ease on an ongoing basis.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
A positive impact on real-time analysis and patterns from streaming dataGood speedGood documentation for setupNo negative impactIncentivized
