Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, MuleSoft, IBM and others in Business-to-Business Middleware."Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"API management."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"It can scale."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"Scalability and load balancing."
"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"I like that it's user-friendly. Compared to other ESBs, I find it easier to use. I like it better than other ESBs. I like the connectors, which make calling the APIs through the routers easier."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
"It should give better control over account management."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"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."
"Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule."
"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."
"The solution isn't as stable as we'd like it to be. There are some ongoing issues and therefore Mule has to provide frequent patches. Mule's core IP should be more stable overall."
"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."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"MuleSoft isn't as mature as some other integration technologies out there like IBM WebSphere. There's room for growth, and MuleSoft is working toward that."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
