Comparison Results: Tibco BusinessWorks is the winner in this comparison. It is a scalable, high performing, and reliable solution. In addition, it is easier to deploy than Mule Anypoint Platform.
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"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 product is very user-friendly."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"It is a very robust system."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"Good performance and reliability."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
