"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing. B2B Integrator also has a high availability option to work in a cluster environment. You rarely have issues operating it because of the HA."
"I find the codeless communications, SFTP or FTP, valuable."
"B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable features assist with understanding data formats and transforming data."
"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."
"The solution has a good graphical interface."
"I like that Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors."
"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."
"Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal."
"The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough."
"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with."
"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."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"Community editions need more attention."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the generator for the DataWeave language so that it's a little more graphic."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"In order to meet the new trend of active metadata management, we need intelligent APIs that can retrieve new data designs and trigger actions over new findings without human intervention."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
