User Testimonials
	IBM Integration Bus	Talend ESB
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM Routing, protocol transformation, message transformation and service aggregation are very well performed by WebSphere Message Broker (WMB). It is not very suitable for integration with databases. Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	Qlik Recommended for: Multiple systems to interface for a task in the company (example: to sell an item your POS must communicate with the inventory software, then to accounting, then to service, etc). When a task must bring information from several external services. When you have to deal with multiple APIs. Not recommended for: Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB) Incentivized Jose Miguel Siu Navarro Gerente de Desarrollo - Sector Publico Read full review
Pros	IBM Graphical data mapper Support for different programming languages Integration with MQ Support for different parsers Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	Qlik Up to 900 connectors included in the license with no extra cost Graphical UI to develop the Web Services You can begin with the community version to evaluate or start implementing a very uncomplicated ESB The Talend ESB Admin Control is very powerful with dashboards and reports to keep your IF working smoothly Incentivized Jose Miguel Siu Navarro Gerente de Desarrollo - Sector Publico Read full review
Cons	IBM Logging Debugging Code quality tools Feature specific installation Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	Qlik You have to log in to each module separately 900 connectors is a lot, but if you have a custom app to interface, you have to develop your connector Incentivized Jose Miguel Siu Navarro Gerente de Desarrollo - Sector Publico Read full review
Alternatives Considered	IBM Websphere message broker supports a lot more protocols than any other similar tool. Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	Qlik First, it is a lot of cheaper than the closest competitor. Second, Talend ESB is in the same league as other stronger brands. Third, the functions and modules are a 360 solution to implement an ESB. Talend has a different approach to license since it is based on programmers and run times, not to users of cores. Incentivized Jose Miguel Siu Navarro Gerente de Desarrollo - Sector Publico Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM It helped us in improving the speed to market for our services/APIs. Learning curve is quite long Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	Qlik Considerably cheaper than oracle service bus As I said before, you can run a POC using the community version of Talend Studio. Built from Open Source/ well-proven technologies, and a big community to support those technologies. Incentivized Jose Miguel Siu Navarro Gerente de Desarrollo - Sector Publico Read full review
