Scalable and easy to maintain

Our primary use case of Fiorano ESB is to expose our core banking APIs. We use Finastra's Fusion Equation, which has its own API layer and runs on an IBM machine. Nowadays, this generation of developers isn't familiar with API structures, so we converted the ESB, which is now working as a middle…

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

We're using our Mule ESB mostly for integration projects for multinational companies that do business on a B2C or B2B basis. We also work with companies with multiple third-party vendors employed under their payroll. The Mule ESB helps integrate data from third-party systems or vendors with the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"For complex cases, we employ the SSLi engine, whereas for simpler ones like healthcare or response data, such as EDI 270 or 271. We prefer to use an external XRT engine instead of handling it within the ESB for ease of management."

"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."

"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."

"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."

"The transformation and the data format are the features that I like the most."

"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."

"Mule Expression Language"

"The solution has a good graphical interface."

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."

"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."

"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."

"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."

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

"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."

"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."

"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."

"The stability could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

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

"The pricing must be improved."

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

"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."

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.

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.
