Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers excellent stability.""The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages.""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 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."

"The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."

More JBoss ESB Pros →

"Mule Expression Language""The solution offers multiple deployment options.""I like that Mule ESB provides fast and good technical support.""The setup is straightforward.""Scalability and load balancing.""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 connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that.""Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."

Cons
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API.""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.""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.""The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

More Aurea CX Messenger Cons →

"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."

More JBoss ESB Cons →

"It needs more samples. Also, the dependency on Maven should be removed.""Lacking some connectors that could be included.""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.""MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard.""I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution.""The initial setup is not easy.""The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

  • "The pricing is not so high."

  • "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."

    Overview

    CX Messenger lets your technology keep pace with your business. Aurea’s industry leading Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) lets you adapt and change your infrastructure with plug-and-play speed and ease.

    JBossESB is the next generation of EAI - better and without the vendor-lockin characteristics of old. As such, many of the capabilities mirror those of existing EAI offerings: Business Process Monitoring, Integrated Development Environment, Human Workflow User Interface, Business Process Management, Connectors, Transaction Manager, Security, Application Container, Messaging Service, Metadata Repository, Naming and Directory Service, Distributed Computing Architecture. Plus JBossESB is part of an SOI (Service Oriented Infrastructure). However, SOA is not simply a technology or a product: it's a style of design, with many aspects (such as architectural, methodological and organisational) unrelated to the actual technology.
    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.
