"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc.""I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs""You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"The stability could be improved.""There are some features on the commercial version of the solution that would be great if they were on the community version. Additionally, if they added more authorization features it would be helpful.""In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application.""The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster.""It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work.""The payment system needs improvement.""The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight.""Lacking some connectors that could be included."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
  • "You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
  • "The pricing is not so high."
  • More Aurea CX Messenger Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."
  • "Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."
  • "The various features and components for this solution are no longer free."
  • "The licensing is yearly, and there are additional fees for services."
  • "This product is cheaper than some offered by other vendors, although there is a problem because you have to pay for some third-party adapters."
  • "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."
  • "This product is expensive, but it does offer value for money."
  • "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."
