"The solution offers multiple deployment options."
"Mule Expression Language"
"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"The connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."
"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."
"The setup is straightforward."
"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."
"This solution has everything."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"-"
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
