Mule ESB vs OpenText Trading Grid comparison

"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."

"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."

"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."

"It is one of the best integration tools in the market."

"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."

"The most beneficial features of Mule ESB are the control plane and runtime plane."

"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."

"The product offers a community edition that is free of cost."

"The solution is easy to implement."

"The stability could be improved."

"I cannot say that installation with Kubernetes needs to be improved to be less tricky, but more information is needed from MuleSoft. They do not help much with Kubernetes, so we should have a person who is well-versed in Kubernetes to handle this."

"Improvements could be made in performance."

"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."

"One area that could be improved is the way that policies are propagated when APIs are moved from one environment to another. It's an issue, but when you develop and test the rest APIs in a lower environment and need to move them, there's a propagation process. This process moves certain aspects of the APIs, like the basic features. But when we move them, the policies don't always move with them. The policies should be able to move so we don't have to redo them manually. There are some APIs we use, but it's a bit tedious."

"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."

"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."

"In India, particularly in the banking sector, clients do not prefer cloud solutions due to regulatory and compliance requirements."

"Technical support needs to be better."

"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."

"Mule ESB is a costly solution. We pay approximately $80,000 annually for the system. The cost of the number of instances, annual subscription, and cloud hosting services are expensive."

"This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."

"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."

"You will not get any support from Mule ESB's team for the tool's community edition...You can get support with the licensed version of Mule ESB."

"Mule ESB is an expensive solution."

"The pricing must be improved."

"The price of the Mule ESB commercial version is expensive. However, they have a free community version."
