Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code.""One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification.""The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."

"Mule ESB has a user-friendly design, and everything is in one place. The API and architecture are popular right now. Also, MuleSoft has a large and supportive online community.""What Mule provides out-of-box is a sufficient product.""The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another.""This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors.""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 cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave.""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 connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."

Cons
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places.""Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement.""Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."

More Fiorano ESB Cons →

"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB.""MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard.""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.""There are some issues with both stability and scalability.""Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome.""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.""The price of Mule ESB could improve.""It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
  • More Fiorano ESB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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
    The Fiorano ESB implements a brokered, peer-to-peer (often referred to as super peer) system architecture, which combines the management benefits of centralized hub-and-spoke systems with the performance benefits of fully distributed peer-to-peer systems, while avoiding the particular disadvantages of both of these individual approaches.
    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.
