"The solution is extremely scalable."
"We are able to monitor all B2B messages, and we are able to see or track each message on it from an error perspective. That's a good side of it. It is working well, and we're able to do our current job."
"They have best-in-class, quality support."
"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"The solution has a good graphical interface."
"It was pretty fast to develop APIs on this platform, which is something I liked about it. So, the time to value was pretty good."
"I like that Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support."
"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"The transformation and the data format are the features that I like the most."
"Onboarding on the solution is complex. It's hard to onboard partners and customer suppliers. It's one aspect that is not that straightforward."
"They can improve APIs because they are still lagging behind in API connectivity. With non-API connectivity, they're market leaders, but API connectivity, they're still in the immature space."
"It can be now classified as a legacy system because there are no more updates. From what I know, there will be no updates for the current version, which is an issue. Therefore, we are looking for a compatible new software that we can use. We're currently researching what is there in the market. We would consider something that would give us better speed on our current processor. There is also room for improvement in terms of its scalability and GUI. It is an old system, and its scalability can be improved. Its GUI can also be more appealing."
"Mule ESB could be more user-friendly. I think users must learn about the architecture before they start coding. The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to see an EDIFACT integration."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"Community editions need more attention."
