Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It was pretty fast to develop APIs on this platform, which is something I liked about it. So, the time to value was pretty good.""The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs.""Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution.""Easy connectivity and easy integration.""The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available.""The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily.""The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration.""Most of our use cases are for Salesforce. So, the connectors for Salesforce have been really helpful. They've made development two times faster."

"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation.""The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far.""The routing and aggregation are the most valuable features. It's split and join.""Overall it is a pretty good solution.""What I like most about Oracle Service Bus is that you can use it for many integrations. For example, you can use it for on-premises to on-premises integrations, on-premises to cloud integrations, and cloud to on-premises integrations.""We've been pleased with the level of technical support.""With Oracle Service Bus, we can connect with different types of systems. Another feature I like the most is the security feature.""What I found most valuable in Oracle Service Bus is its time to market. It's excellent."

"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications.""I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined.""It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."

Cons
"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.""In order to meet the new trend of active metadata management, we need intelligent APIs that can retrieve new data designs and trigger actions over new findings without human intervention.""It should have some amount of logging.""The price of Mule ESB could improve.""The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight.""We would like the ability to use our own code. This would allow us to develop customizations with ease. Additionally, it would be nice to have more analytics or insights on the exchanged information between databases.""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.""Community editions need more attention."

More Mule ESB Cons →

"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great.""The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity.""There are some loopholes in service and support.""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.""This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters.""The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure.""Security features can be improved to better protect the server.""We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."

More Oracle Service Bus Cons →

"We encountered delays with the tool.""At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage.""There could be more automation included."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is expensive. In my next project, we had to go to other vendor."
  • "Plan your licensing model (cloud or on-premises or hybrid) that will allow seamless integration with new partners."
  • "The various features and components for this solution are no longer free."
  • "The licensing is yearly, and there are additional fees for services."
  • "This product is cheaper than some offered by other vendors, although there is a problem because you have to pay for some third-party adapters."
  • "Most of the challenges that I had with this solution were for smaller customers. There is not a good licensing model or pricing model. It is more expensive than other solutions, and that's the downside of MuleSoft. I had to be creative to be able to sell it to the business, but we did. This is something they have to work on because for large companies, it's affordable, but for small and medium businesses, it's very hard to sell."
  • "This product is expensive, but it does offer value for money."
  • "I think the price is very high. If you use TIBCO BW, the license is for the CPU usage, then the IPS, and support. I also think the license for the product is a one-time expense."
  • More Mule ESB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."
  • "This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."
  • "We have an unlimited yearly license."
  • "I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."
  • "The pricing is on the higher side."
  • More Oracle Service Bus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I find it reasonably priced, even for startups. The cost is minimal and depends on what features you want to add. Workday allows customization and personalization, and it operates like a cloud solution, making it affordable as long as you know what you need."

    Overview
    For companies looking to modernize and unlock the value of existing on-premises systems and applications, an enterprise service bus (ESB) architecture serves as a critical foundation layer for SOA. When deployed as an ESB, the Mule runtime engine of Anypoint Platform combines the power of data and application integration across legacy systems and SaaS applications, with a seamless path to the other capabilities of Anypoint Platform and the full power of API-led connectivity.

    Oracle Service Bus transforms complex and brittle architectures into agile integration networks by connecting, virtualizing, and managing interactions between services and applications. Oracle Service Bus delivers low-cost, standards-based integration for mission critical SOA environments where extreme performance, scalability and reliability are critical requirements.

    Oracle Service Bus enables companies to use the values of their enterprise applications portfolio. From on-premise, to the cloud to mobile devices, Service Bus allows companies to leverage their existing investments in new ways by extending the performance and scalability leadership of Oracle SOA and API Management.
