We performed a comparison between Aurea CX Messenger, 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)."ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Mule ESB are its ease of use, documentation, ease to adapt to newer security and vulnerabilities, and a lot of help available. Additionally, there is a lot of flexibility, many patches available, and they provide APIs. They are a market standard."
"The solution offers multiple deployment options."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"The most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"This product is not complicated and very easy to learn."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."
"I am a part of the software developing team and I mainly use this solution for the integrating applications."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"The solution is quite stable overall. We haven't witnessed any performance issues so far."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"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."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"We have faced a problem with the heap memory side, but that is stable now."
"This solution would benefit from having more cloud-based adapters."
"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."
"It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve."
"This solution should work better with RESTful services."
