We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This tool has exceptional API management and integration connectors in addition to multiple out of the box connectors."
"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"Scalability and load balancing."
"The connectors help to connect with a variety of applications."
"I'm not using ESB directly. It is the integration layer, so it's running under the hood. However, the conversion and transformation performance is excellent. Anypoint Enterprise Security is also solid."
"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."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB."
"It would be much more beneficial if the solution included AI and business process management."
"The Anypoint platform consumes a lot of memory, and it would be great for developers if it were more lightweight."
"We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"Support is expensive."
