Find out in this report how the two Business-to-Business Middleware solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."
"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."
"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"API management."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."
"ION's integration with older applications could be better."
"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."
"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
