Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"The transformation and the data format are the features that I like the most."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"Mule ESB has a user-friendly design, and everything is in one place. The API and architecture are popular right now. Also, MuleSoft has a large and supportive online community."
"I am impressed with the product's connectors and scalability."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"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."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
