"Scalability and load balancing."
"This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors."
"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing."
"It's not easy to troubleshoot and we still can't make it work."
"In order to meet the new trend of active metadata management, we need intelligent APIs that can retrieve new data designs and trigger actions over new findings without human intervention."
"One area that could be improved is the way that policies are propagated when APIs are moved from one environment to another. It's an issue, but when you develop and test the rest APIs in a lower environment and need to move them, there's a propagation process. This process moves certain aspects of the APIs, like the basic features. But when we move them, the policies don't always move with them. The policies should be able to move so we don't have to redo them manually. There are some APIs we use, but it's a bit tedious."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"Mule ESB could be more user-friendly. I think users must learn about the architecture before they start coding. The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to see an EDIFACT integration."
"We would like the ability to use our own code. This would allow us to develop customizations with ease. Additionally, it would be nice to have more analytics or insights on the exchanged information between databases."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
