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 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."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"I like that Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support."
"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."
"It was very good at supporting high transactions, up to 300 transactions per second."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or web services through different protocols."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"It would be beneficial if users could navigate the UI easily without extensive training or learning curves."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"The payment system needs improvement."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"The interface console is very slow. Even in production, we need to increase the RAM or CPU. And even after that, the performance is still not good in production."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Service Bus is the roadmap for its product launch. Currently, it's unclear, so Oracle should develop a roadmap for version 12c, so people can see what's coming out of that version of Oracle Service Bus. Cloud hosting is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Service Bus."
"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."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
