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. What do you dislike about Apache Camel? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache Camel: Keep the routes small and keep the number of thread running on the endpoints small too - or at least tune it. High number of endpoints yield to threads idle consuming locks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache Camel solving and how is that benefiting you? Integration and tasks workflow pipeline, i.e. content processing, file processing, messaging processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
