Scalable and easy to maintain

One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification.

Enterprise integrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Integration architecture has enabled reliable multi-channel messaging and secure API management but now needs better analytics and simpler development

In my opinion, the real-time analytics part of Mule ESB is not up to the mark for the decision-making process. While there are some analytics features, they lack the standards needed for enterprise use. Compared to other analytics tools such as Power BI, MuleSoft falls short.Points for improvement in Mule ESB definitely include enhancing the analytics capabilities because currently, they rely on external logging tools such as Splunk or ELK, which is lagging behind compared to other tools such as Workato that offer more analytical features. Additionally, issues arise with AI-based use cases due to dependencies on Salesforce tools such as agent force, making development more complicated when it should be more independent. Developing AI-based agents without being tied to Salesforce applications could also enhance functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."

"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."

"One of the most valuable features is the scalability, because whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale, and we can actually use specific servers for specific stuff, such as implementing one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API, which is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."

"It has vastly improved the speed of delivery for custom integrations."

"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."

"Fiorano offers multiple adaptors for various interface languages, making it easy to cater to a variety of interfaces."

"Fully functional interfaces and web services are up in hours, not days, so we spend more time designing XSD than setting up the service."

"Mule ESB has a user-friendly design, and everything is in one place. The API and architecture are popular right now. Also, MuleSoft has a large and supportive online community."

"Mule ESB is one of the best; it is easy to use and setup."

"MuleSoft ESB is an ideal choice for us and makes it easier for the developers to deliver complex projects with the best quality."

"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."

"The API management capabilities are exemplary. You can apply security policies to most applications, monitor logs, and get analytical data on request reception, response generation time, associated APIs, endpoints, and inbound and outbound messages."

"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."

"The most valuable features of Mule ESB are its ease of use, documentation, ease to adapt to newer security and vulnerabilities, and a lot of help available."

"We can do very fast development of the orchestrations of MuleSoft."

More Mule ESB pros

"Overall it is a pretty good solution."

"It's definitely stable."

"Even though we had been using Oracle BPEL, we had to go with Oracle Service Bus because it is able to handle JSON inputs, and we were amazed by its flexibility in accepting incoming messages."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."

"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."

"Oracle a good product."

"The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."

"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."

Cons

"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."

"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."

"Error descriptions are not user friendly."

"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."

"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."

"This solution could be improved by making it more flexible, and more user-friendly."

"The main issue we currently have is that the version we are using will not be supported for much longer and we'll have to migrate to the newer version."

"Mule ESB is a costly solution."

"In my opinion, the real-time analytics part of Mule ESB is not up to the mark for the decision-making process."

"The stability could be improved."

"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."

"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."

"I cannot say that installation with Kubernetes needs to be improved to be less tricky, but more information is needed from MuleSoft. They do not help much with Kubernetes, so we should have a person who is well-versed in Kubernetes to handle this."

More Mule ESB cons

"The logging and error-handling framework can be improved."

"The technical support for this solution is not very good."

"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."

"This solution should work better with RESTful services."

"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."

"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus. Cloud hosting is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Service Bus."

"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."

More Oracle Service Bus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."

"Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."

"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."

"This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."

"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 pricing must be improved."

"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."

"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."

More Mule ESB pricing and cost advice

"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."

"This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."

"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."

"We have an unlimited yearly license."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"

Overview

The Fiorano ESB implements a brokered, peer-to-peer (often referred to as super peer) system architecture, which combines the management benefits of centralized hub-and-spoke systems with the performance benefits of fully distributed peer-to-peer systems, while avoiding the particular disadvantages of both of these individual approaches.

Fiorano

For companies looking to modernize and unlock the value of existing on-premises systems and applications, an enterprise service bus (ESB) architecture serves as a critical foundation layer for SOA. When deployed as an ESB, the Mule runtime engine of Anypoint Platform combines the power of data and application integration across legacy systems and SaaS applications, with a seamless path to the other capabilities of Anypoint Platform and the full power of API-led connectivity.

Salesforce

Oracle Service Bus transforms complex and brittle architectures into agile integration networks by connecting, virtualizing, and managing interactions between services and applications. Oracle Service Bus delivers low-cost, standards-based integration for mission critical SOA environments where extreme performance, scalability and reliability are critical requirements.

Oracle Service Bus enables companies to use the values of their enterprise applications portfolio. From on-premise, to the cloud to mobile devices, Service Bus allows companies to leverage their existing investments in new ways by extending the performance and scalability leadership of Oracle SOA and API Management.
