"B2B provides a secure communication channel."
"Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the range of EDI standards that IBM Sterling can handle."
"It is easy of use and it's easy to maintain. It's also faster to on-board partners."
"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster."
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."
"The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."
"There should be a single place to do things, rather than making it complicated, not moving away and truncating the old features but instead coming up with the new and still keeping the old stuff confuses people sometimes."
"End-to-end visibility and monitoring application required. The control center is available and covers this area, but it still fails in many monitoring scenarios."
"Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal."
"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
