Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The scalability of the solution is okay. It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format. | The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration. The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs. Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis. The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another. The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company. |
Cons | |
The solution overall could be simplified. Everything is too complex. The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is. | The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight. Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule. We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing. I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution. The payment system needs improvement. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
IBM products are generally more stable and have more features, but also come at a greater cost. | The various features and components for this solution are no longer free. |
