We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"I'm not using ESB directly. It is the integration layer, so it's running under the hood. However, the conversion and transformation performance is excellent. Anypoint Enterprise Security is also solid."
"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 valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"One area that could be improved is the way that policies are propagated when APIs are moved from one environment to another. It's an issue, but when you develop and test the rest APIs in a lower environment and need to move them, there's a propagation process. This process moves certain aspects of the APIs, like the basic features. But when we move them, the policies don't always move with them. The policies should be able to move so we don't have to redo them manually. There are some APIs we use, but it's a bit tedious."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if users could navigate the UI easily without extensive training or learning curves."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
