We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and Oracle Service Bus 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."Mule ESB is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"The solution has a good graphical interface."
"For complex cases, we employ the SSLi engine, whereas for simpler ones like healthcare or response data, such as EDI 270 or 271. We prefer to use an external XRT engine instead of handling it within the ESB for ease of management."
"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."
"The solution offers multiple deployment options."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."
"Supports multiple protocol technologies and web services."
"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."
"Service Bus is good at routing the transformation."
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."
"Its ease of use is valuable. It's very easy to use. It's no code/low code. Oracle Middleware products are also rich in adapters."
"The interface is fine and the solution is quite robust."
"The communication between applications is already defined, which means that you don't have to redefine your service infrastructure at the lower level."
"There are limitations with the subscription model that comes with the product."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"There are some issues with both stability and scalability."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"Mule ESB isn't as secure as IBM. Financial companies go with IBM for that reason."
"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."
"Security needs to be more integrated."
"There are some loopholes in service and support."
"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."
"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."
"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."
"The support for GraphQL needs to be improved, and the response time for global support could be faster."
"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."
"It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable."
