Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot.""The transformation and the data format are the features that I like the most.""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.""I'm not using ESB directly. It is the integration layer, so it's running under the hood. However, the conversion and transformation performance is excellent. Anypoint Enterprise Security is also solid.""The solution has a good graphical interface.""We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow.""I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability.""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."

Cons
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight.""We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing.""Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason.""It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management.""It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work.""It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature.""In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application.""Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."
  • "Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."
  • "The various features and components for this solution are no longer free."
  • "The licensing is yearly, and there are additional fees for services."
  • "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."
  • "Most of the challenges that I had with this solution were for smaller customers. There is not a good licensing model or pricing model. It is more expensive than other solutions, and that's the downside of MuleSoft. I had to be creative to be able to sell it to the business, but we did. This is something they have to work on because for large companies, it's affordable, but for small and medium businesses, it's very hard to sell."
  • "This product is expensive, but it does offer value for money."
  • "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."
