We performed a comparison between JBoss ESB, Mule ESB, and Oracle Service Bus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"I like that it's user-friendly. Compared to other ESBs, I find it easier to use. I like it better than other ESBs. I like the connectors, which make calling the APIs through the routers easier."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."
"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."
"I like that Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support."
"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"I'm not using ESB directly. It is the integration layer, so it's running under the hood. However, the conversion and transformation performance is excellent. Anypoint Enterprise Security is also solid."
"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."
"I like the ease of deployment and the ease of implementation."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"It is stable."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The ability to master the process in one location."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"The most valuable feature is the adapters."
"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."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"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."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"The weak point of OSB is the single point of failure."
"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."
"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."
"The inconvenient part about working with this product is that it's very heavy, requiring a lot of people and a lot of resources."
"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."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
