Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Quest SharePlex and MuleSoft Composer compete in the integration solutions category, both offering valuable tools but catering to different integration aspects. Quest SharePlex appears to have an advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness and support, while MuleSoft Composer offers superior feature richness, making it compelling for comprehensive digital ecosystem integrations.

Features: Quest SharePlex excels with reliable data replication, real-time data integration, and extensive database server compatibility, enhancing its scalability and performance. MuleSoft Composer's strengths lie in its ability to integrate seamlessly across cloud applications, a powerful API management framework, and an extensive connector library that adapts to diverse operational needs.

Room for Improvement: Quest SharePlex could advance by integrating more cloud application support and improving its user interface for non-technical users. Its scalability might be further enhanced for complex cloud environments. It may also require expansion in API capabilities.

Its documentation can be more tailored to complex project needs.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Quest SharePlex provides a straightforward setup with strong documentation and accessible support, focusing on database environments.

Back End Developer at Agnos Inc.

The prebuilt connectors save a lot of time and money, but the customer support and price must be improved

Our customer’s system is very old. We are trying to upgrade it. We are extracting data from the system and sending it to Salesforce. The product is a good option if we want to build process automation for data. It can be done quickly through the tool. We need not do coding and waste our time and efforts. The ease of learning depends on the person who is learning the product. It depends on whether they come from a developer background. It would be easy to learn if they have some experience in coding and have worked on integrations. I haven’t faced many challenges while scaling our integration solutions with MuleSoft Composer. The drag-and-drop interface has not impacted our project deployment time much. The customer support and price can be improved. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Architect, Database Administration at Maximus

Excellent replication with good stability and very helpful support

I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training. Also, maybe if we could have a seperate section of showing out-of-sync tables in Foglight, instead of looking into the "warning" messages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution invokes some RPS from Composer and then sends emails and flat notifications. It helps us integrate with any third-party SAPE or integration tools."

"The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it."

"The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."

"The way Composer organizes and manages integration processes is most beneficial. We can easily monitor what's running and what isn't and troubleshoot any data integration issues."

"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side."

"The functionality of MuleSoft to connect with any database is the most important feature."

"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."

"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."

"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."

"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."

"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."

Cons

"This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms."

"There is also one limitation. We cannot see logs, latencies, or request counts."

"The technical support team's response time must be improved."

"One additional feature they could add might be something like regional prices. Since we're based in Brazil, we pay in dollars but earn in Brazilian Real."

"There are some challenges with API sharing in Composer."

"MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."

"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."

"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."

"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."

"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"Salesforce is licensed by user and by products and so pricing depending on what your requirements are."

"MuleSoft Composer is affordable, and I rate its pricing a five to six out of ten."

"It's costly, especially for Indian clients."

"It is not as expensive as Oracle GoldenGate and has worked really well within our budgets."

"It's really good value for the money. There are some things they could improve on, but in terms of the pricing, features, and support, as a holistic package, we are not thinking of anything else at this point in time."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for MuleSoft Composer?

It's costly, especially for Indian clients. Reducing the price would help them penetrate the Indian market. A two-year license costs around seventy lakhs rupees. It's a considerable amount.
