Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The solution offers excellent stability."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 setup is straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's programmer-friendly, so it's very easy to develop APIs."
"The connectors help to connect with a variety of applications."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"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."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"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."
"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."
"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."
"The stability could be improved."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"The price of Mule ESB could improve."
"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."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"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."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
