"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"The connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."

"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The stability could be better."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"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 payment system needs improvement."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
"From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved."
