Cons
"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management.""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.""It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work.""In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application.""We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing.""The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster.""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.""The stability could be improved."

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."
