Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Users find MuleSoft Composer stable and well-performing, despite occasional glitches quickly resolved by support.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable and reliable with minor issues, enhanced by frequent updates, though rapid changes can be problematic.
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
 

Room For Improvement

MuleSoft Composer needs better platform integrations, interface, scalability, AI integration, and support for complex data and API sharing challenges.
webMethods.io needs better documentation, stability, integration, performance, and user-friendly features, including cost-effective licensing and advanced capabilities.
Another enhancement would be in OCR; currently, there is a huge demand for OCR capabilities. It would be perfect if webMethods.io had a built-in component for OCR, as this would be tested and allow customers to use it better than a third-party OCR application.
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
 

Setup Cost

MuleSoft Composer is considered costly, especially in Brazil and India, with users recommending a 20%-30% price reduction.
webMethods.io is costly, ideal for big enterprises; licensing complex; negotiations common, but valued for its capabilities and support.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
 

Valuable Features

MuleSoft Composer offers Salesforce integration, ease of use, API sharing, prebuilt connectors, and effective data handling, monitoring, and notifications.
webMethods.io provides scalable integration, intuitive API management, extensive connector support, robust security, and seamless connectivity for complex integrations.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Prince Barai - PeerSpot reviewer
The prebuilt connectors save a lot of time and money, but the customer support and price must be improved
Our customer’s system is very old. We are trying to upgrade it. We are extracting data from the system and sending it to Salesforce. The product is a good option if we want to build process automation for data. It can be done quickly through the tool. We need not do coding and waste our time and efforts. The ease of learning depends on the person who is learning the product. It depends on whether they come from a developer background. It would be easy to learn if they have some experience in coding and have worked on integrations. I haven’t faced many challenges while scaling our integration solutions with MuleSoft Composer. The drag-and-drop interface has not impacted our project deployment time much. The customer support and price can be improved. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
