Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

SAS Access and MuleSoft Composer are competing products in the realm of data integration. SAS Access shows a slight advantage in support and integration capabilities, while MuleSoft Composer, known for its robust connectivity features, seems to be worth the investment due to its versatile features.

Features: SAS Access provides strong data access features with advanced analytics capabilities and seamless integration with SAS software. MuleSoft Composer stands out with its wide array of pre-built connectors and a low-code integration platform, enabling easier connections across cloud applications. The primary difference lies in SAS Access’s depth in analytics versus MuleSoft Composer's connectivity breadth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SAS Access facilitates deployment with comprehensive documentation and a support team familiar with analytical environments. MuleSoft Composer offers a user-friendly deployment process with guided integration paths, although its customer service lacks the specialized focus of SAS Access. The distinction is SAS Access’s tailored support for analytic setups versus MuleSoft’s smoother deployment tools.

Pricing and ROI: SAS Access tends to require a higher initial investment with substantial returns from its advanced data processing and analysis capabilities. MuleSoft Composer presents a more cost-effective setup, providing excellent ROI for organizations aiming to enhance system connectivity without deep-dive analytics. The main difference is SAS Access's strong ROI through advanced analytics, against MuleSoft's efficient setup and connectivity-centric value.

Prince Barai

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.

Co Owner at Hecht und Heck GmbH

The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible

I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."

"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."

"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."

Cons

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

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

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

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

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."

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.
