Top Rated Apache Camel Alternatives
This is one of the best routing services I have ever used in my application. Apache camel is too easy to configure, code and define your end-point routes. Also you are not limited to just one endpoint routes, however you can define as much as you need as per your business requirements. The only drawback I can see is that there is no way to test without deploying the same in the application server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very low-level architecture and design. It would be nice to have a GUI to define an endpoint and test the connectivity without deploying into the server. Something like SOAP UI where you can test your SOAP API without any hustle. Also if possible drag-drop option will be very optimal and helpful for such use cases.

Chinese doc is not enough for begining users and not widely use with in my local area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The integration patterns, the amount of different components endpoints implemented. The ease to deploy and make changes the support for both xml and java languages. How easy is to add new routes, the ability to decouple tasks in very simple manner.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The testing support is not great. Wether is unit tests or integration tests - the fact that is not easy to test with real routes and you need to write test routes is not great. The ability to mock endpoints/components on the fly without having to rewrite the whole route is a must to have. I want to test the routes that are going to production not a different version of it.
