Great question. I'd also like to hear from anyone who has used an ESB
and
Akka (not together) to try to understand why you'd want to use an ESB
over
Akka.. or not.
From what I see a commercial, espensive ESB is sometimes a requirement of
the customer (because, right or wrong, he has envisioned the integration
of everything under that umbrella) or, for similar reasons, because you
have to integrate some legacy from the same vendor - e.g. you have lots of
IBM stuff, thus the most comprehensive, guaranteed and supported way to
integrate them with an ESB is by buying an ESB made by IBM with all its
certified adapters.
Personally, I think that in most cases people could do with third parties
or open source, instead of spending big money, but a branded ESB could be
one of the few cases in which the money are worth spending (if the context
is the one I've described above).
