"The product is lightweight and fast."
"This solution has everything."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"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."
"Mule ESB could be more user-friendly. I think users must learn about the architecture before they start coding. The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to see an EDIFACT integration."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"It would be beneficial if users could navigate the UI easily without extensive training or learning curves."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"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."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
