We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product offers a community edition that is free of cost."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"It is stable."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Overall it is a pretty good solution."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."
"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."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution isn't as stable as we'd like it to be. There are some ongoing issues and therefore Mule has to provide frequent patches. Mule's core IP should be more stable overall."
"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 initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"Security features can be improved to better protect the server."
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
