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 Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"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 for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"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 offers multiple deployment options."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."
"From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"In India, particularly in the banking sector, clients do not prefer cloud solutions due to regulatory and compliance requirements."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the Mule ESB commercial version is expensive. However, they have a free community version."
"The licensing is yearly, and there are additional fees for services."
"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."
"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."
