We performed a comparison between Aurea CX Messenger, IBM Integration Bus, and Mule ESB 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 Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We use IBM Integration Bus for document conversions."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"It can be implemented as an enterprise service bus to seamlessly connect all applications within your enterprise."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution is very reliable and it is easy to learn."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"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."
"The product offers a community edition that is free of cost."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"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."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from improvements to the configuration interface."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"The solution needs to simplify its documentation, such as the user and operation manuals, to make them even easier to understand."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"There are a couple of things I want improved, but I think they have already touched upon all those things in the most recent version. I'm not using the most recent version—I use a version older than the most recent—but I'm sure that if I looked into and explored it, I would see more support on the CI/CD and more support for unit testing automation. I've read that they released all these things in the new version of App Connect. Once I explore the new version of this tool, I'll probably have a better idea of suggested improvements."
"The solution needs to improve it's security and its proactive notification of security issues."
"IBM does not support orchestration, which is how they designed it, and other BPM tools in the market support orchestration. If they merged the BPM capability into this product, then it would be a better solution."
"The solution could improve by having built-in implementation and secure monitoring without the need for API Connect."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"MuleSoft isn't as mature as some other integration technologies out there like IBM WebSphere. There's room for growth, and MuleSoft is working toward that."
"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 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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the generator for the DataWeave language so that it's a little more graphic."
"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."
"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed."
