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

There's room for improvement in multi-file transfer functionality. It's not convenient when using MuleSoft, and it should have better capability for handling large amounts of data. For example, applications like GoAnywhere can handle huge chunks of data, so the tool should also have something to facilitate that aspect of integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"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 solution offers excellent stability."

"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 connectors help to connect with a variety of applications."

"The connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."

"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."

"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."

"It was pretty fast to develop APIs on this platform, which is something I liked about it. So, the time to value was pretty good."

"Scalability and load balancing."

"Mule Expression Language"

"This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors."

More Mule ESB pros

Cons

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"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."

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

"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."

"We would like the ability to use our own code. This would allow us to develop customizations with ease. Additionally, it would be nice to have more analytics or insights on the exchanged information between databases."

"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."

"Mule ESB could be more user-friendly. I think users must learn about the architecture before they start coding. The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to see an EDIFACT integration."

"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the generator for the DataWeave language so that it's a little more graphic."

"It should have some amount of logging."

"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."

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"

"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."

"This product is expensive, but it does offer value for money."

"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."

"Regarding licensing and pricing, I find it somewhat flexible. They are more flexible with larger customers compared to small and medium ones, as their licensing model depends on ports and other factors. Large customers benefit from more flexibility in implementation and renewal compared to smaller ones."

"The various features and components for this solution are no longer free."

"I think the price is very high. If you use TIBCO BW, the license is for the CPU usage, then the IPS, and support. I also think the license for the product is a one-time expense."

"The price of the Mule ESB commercial version is expensive. However, they have a free community version."

"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."
