Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"API management."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"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."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
