The Wikipedia writers have assembled a list of the key benefits and disadvantages of enterprise service bus implementations. This is what they said. This is what the Wikipedia writers said. [citation provided]
Key benefits
Key disadvantages
Key benefits
- Faster and cheaper accommodation of existing systems.
- Increased flexibility; easier to change as requirements change.
- Standards-based.
- Scales from point solutions to enterprise-wide deployment (distributed bus).
- More configuration rather than integration coding.
- No central rules engine, no central broker.
- Incremental changes can be applied with zero down-time; enterprise becomes "refactorable".
Key disadvantages
- EMM is usually mandatory.
- Value of the ESB requires many disparate systems to collaborate on message standards.
- Without forward planning, the versioning of messages between systems can cause tight coupling instead of the intended loose coupling.
- Vendor depending, it requires more hardware to run.
- New skills needed to configure ESB.
- Extra translation layer when compared to regular messaging solutions.
- Rarely realizes ROI (Return On Investment) witin first few projects; next few projects generally refine messages and services; the fifth project may begin to realize ROI.[citation needed]
- For effective implementation, requires a mature IT governance model (such as ITIL) and a well-defined enterprise strategy to be in place already.
