There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."
"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."
"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."
"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"The integration potential is excellent."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."
"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point."
"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."
"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
