We performed a comparison between Mule ESB, Oracle Service Bus, and Workday Business Process Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"Scalability and load balancing."
"Mule Expression Language"
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"The most valuable features of Mule ESB are its ease of use, documentation, ease to adapt to newer security and vulnerabilities, and a lot of help available. Additionally, there is a lot of flexibility, many patches available, and they provide APIs. They are a market standard."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."
"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."
"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."
"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."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"Community editions need more attention."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"Lacks sufficient cloud compatibility."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"What needs improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the connectivity between adapters such as the Salesforce adapter and database adapters. The limited number of adapters compatible with Oracle Service Bus makes you want to switch to a different solution."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"We encountered delays with the tool."
"There could be more automation included."
"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."
