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
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
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
Up to 900 connectors included in the license with no extra costGraphical UI to develop the Web ServicesYou can begin with the community version to evaluate or start implementing a very uncomplicated ESBThe Talend ESB Admin Control is very powerful with dashboards and reports to keep your IF working smoothlyIncentivized
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
You have to log in to each module separately900 connectors is a lot, but if you have a custom app to interface, you have to develop your connectorIncentivized
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
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
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
Considerably cheaper than oracle service busAs 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
