We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"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."
"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."
"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."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."
"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"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."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"Community editions need more attention."
"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."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
