Lightweight and efficient solution
It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Has API-led architecture and provides a unique, user-friendly, and scalable architecture for hosting APIs

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"The transformation and the data format are the features that I like the most."
"The connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."
"The setup is straightforward."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
 

Cons

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"It would be beneficial if users could navigate the UI easily without extensive training or learning curves."
"Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule."
"We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"The pricing is not so high."
"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"You will not get any support from Mule ESB's team for the tool's community edition...You can get support with the licensed version of Mule ESB."
"Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."
"The various features and components for this solution are no longer free."
"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."
"This product is cheaper than some offered by other vendors, although there is a problem because you have to pay for some third-party adapters."
"The solution is expensive."
"This product is expensive, but it does offer value for money."
"Mule ESB is a costly solution. We pay approximately $80,000 annually for the system. The cost of the number of instances, annual subscription, and cloud hosting services are expensive."
