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

"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."

"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."

"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."

"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."

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

"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."

"I like that it's user-friendly. Compared to other ESBs, I find it easier to use. I like it better than other ESBs. I like the connectors, which make calling the APIs through the routers easier."

"The most beneficial features of Mule ESB are the control plane and runtime plane."

"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."

"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."

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

Cons

"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."

"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."

"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."

"The price of Mule ESB could improve."

"There are some features on the commercial version of the solution that would be great if they were on the community version. Additionally, if they added more authorization features it would be helpful."

"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management."

"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."

"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."

"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."

"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."

"Community editions need more attention."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

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

"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."

"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."

"This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."

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

"Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."

Overview

The Fiorano ESB implements a brokered, peer-to-peer (often referred to as super peer) system architecture, which combines the management benefits of centralized hub-and-spoke systems with the performance benefits of fully distributed peer-to-peer systems, while avoiding the particular disadvantages of both of these individual approaches.

Fiorano

For companies looking to modernize and unlock the value of existing on-premises systems and applications, an enterprise service bus (ESB) architecture serves as a critical foundation layer for SOA. When deployed as an ESB, the Mule runtime engine of Anypoint Platform combines the power of data and application integration across legacy systems and SaaS applications, with a seamless path to the other capabilities of Anypoint Platform and the full power of API-led connectivity.
