"The cloud and integration abilities are most useful allowing us to use applications such as Salesforce and DataWeave."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"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."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"With a premium, one can get support 24 hours."
"The most valuable feature is the software development environment."
"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."
"The solution has more tooling and options."
"The support training that comes with the product is amazing."
"This solution's adaptability to our use case has helped us integrate our systems seamlessly."
"The solution is stable. We have gone for months or years without any issue. There are no memory restarts, so from my point of view, it's very stable."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We are an enterprise business."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved."
"I would like to see support for BPM in the next release of this solution."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"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."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"The testing part, specifically when running it in the cloud, could be improved. It's a little bit complex, especially considering its cloud nature."
"The solution will be discontinued in 2024."
"The pricing model could be adjusted. The price should be lower."
"Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Fuse is the deployment process because it's still very heavy. It's containerized, but now with Spring Boot and other microservices-related containers, deployment is still very heavy. Red Hat Fuse still has room for improvement in terms of becoming more containerized and more oriented."
"My company doesn't have any experience with other messaging tools, so it's difficult to mention what areas could be improved in Red Hat Fuse, but it could be pricing because I find it expensive."
"It might help if, in the documentation, there were a comments section or some kind of community input. I might read a page of documentation and not fully understand everything, or it might not quite answer the question I had. If there were a section associated with it where people could discuss the same topic, that might be helpful because somebody else might have already asked the question that I had."
"Red Hat Fuse doesn't have a lot of administrative control like other applications."
