Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."

More JBoss ESB Pros →

"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily.""The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available.""Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution.""I'm not using ESB directly. It is the integration layer, so it's running under the hood. However, the conversion and transformation performance is excellent. Anypoint Enterprise Security is also solid.""This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors.""The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot.""We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow.""Easy connectivity and easy integration."

More Mule ESB Pros →

"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn.""What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent.""I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications.""There are always continuous improvements that are happening.""The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far.""The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered.""I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation.""The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join."

Cons
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."

More JBoss ESB Cons →

"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management.""From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB.""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.""In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application.""Community editions need more attention.""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 payment system needs improvement.""Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."

More Mule ESB Cons →

"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable.""The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure.""The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster.""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.""It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit.""Security needs to be more integrated.""Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility.""The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
  • 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."
  • "We have an unlimited yearly license."
  • "I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
  • "The pricing is on the higher side."

    Overview
    JBossESB is the next generation of EAI - better and without the vendor-lockin characteristics of old. As such, many of the capabilities mirror those of existing EAI offerings: Business Process Monitoring, Integrated Development Environment, Human Workflow User Interface, Business Process Management, Connectors, Transaction Manager, Security, Application Container, Messaging Service, Metadata Repository, Naming and Directory Service, Distributed Computing Architecture. Plus JBossESB is part of an SOI (Service Oriented Infrastructure). However, SOA is not simply a technology or a product: it's a style of design, with many aspects (such as architectural, methodological and organisational) unrelated to the actual technology.
    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.

    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.
