A low-performing integration tool

We use it as an in-house back-type integration tool. It allows us to have different integrations between different systems It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time. Furthermore, it relies on the files systems and does not create components, so it is…

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

"The stability of the solution is OK."

"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."

"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."

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

"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."

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

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

"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 product is very stable."

More Mule ESB pros

Cons

"It is not performing well."

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

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

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

"The initial setup is not easy."

"The price of Mule ESB could improve."

"In India, particularly in the banking sector, clients do not prefer cloud solutions due to regulatory and compliance requirements."

"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 current version will not be supported for much longer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

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

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

"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 solution is expensive."

"Most of the challenges that I had with this solution were for smaller customers. There is not a good licensing model or pricing model. It is more expensive than other solutions, and that's the downside of MuleSoft. I had to be creative to be able to sell it to the business, but we did. This is something they have to work on because for large companies, it's affordable, but for small and medium businesses, it's very hard to sell."

"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."
