Here's where you probably stand now: you need to integrate all your on-premise systems or cloud (or both) applications and to automate them in a perfectly orchestrated infrastructure! And you're asking yourself: “Should I go with Mulesoft's capabilities?” “What if I evaluated other integration solutions, as well?” “What are my other options?” “Which are the Mulesoft alternatives?”
Since it's been a while since Mulesoft's Anypoint Platform's been competing with other technologies for users' preference in the enterprise integration software landscape.
And competition sure is fierce, and so is your paradox of choice:
A comprehensive, yet succinct definition would go something like this:
MuleSoft provides companies with a next-generation integration platform (Mule ESB & CloudHub) for connecting all their systems (SaaS and enterprise apps) both in the cloud and on-premise.
“And how does it work?” “What can you achieve by using it?” You might then ask yourself.
Here's my three-version answer to your legitimate questions:
Now, if I am to briefly point out some of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's biggest advantages:
And by far one of the biggest edge that Mulesoft has over its competitors:
It's an integration platform that enables different existing apps and systems to connect with each other, acting as a bridge transporting data back and forth between them; and this data flow takes place within your enterprise or across the internet
Mule ESB still is one of the most easily (and widely) integrated applications.
And now, it would be only fair to point out some of MuleSoft's limitations, as well, right?
And what makes it such a popular alternative (and implicitly one of MuleSoft's biggest competitors) is the fact that almost all components can be scaled horizontally!
But there's more! More reasons why many companies choose Apigee over MuleSoft when looking for the best integration software to “power” their own integration scenarios:
Another “rival” that the Anypoint Platform needs to share its worldwide fame with!
Here are some of the strong points that make Tibco BusinessWorks the no.1 choice for plenty of enterprises looking to seamlessly and effectively interconnect all their systems:
What is JitterBit's edge over Mulesoft? What convinced me to add it to this list of “MuleSoft alternatives”?
It's easy to use! It's a simple way for enterprises to connect all their apps, devices and critical data that they need to get “flowing” for running their business!
"Simplicity" and "ease of use" are the 2 keywords to describe this integration solution.
And here are some more reasons why JitterBit's on this list:
How can Zapier here, one of the Mulesoft alternatives, meet your integration needs?
It empowers you to automate tasks performed between other online services: Gmail, Salesforce, Basecamp, 249 etc.
And here's how Zapier's “arsenal” of features and functionalities looks like; the ones that you get to tap into for connecting and automating all your apps nice and easy:
You sure aren't nickel and dimed in choices when it comes to data integration tools!
Informatica Cloud Data Integration is yet another full-featured, complex solution to consider:
As its name “divulges”: it's Oracle's cloud-based integration platform that we're putting into the spotlight here!
Similar to the Mule app since it, too, provides a data environment in exchange, Oracle ICS's “job” could be summarized as follows:
It provides a user-friendly web-based interface which makes possible for “citizen integrators” to peform basic mapping between the interconnected (cloud) applications.
But the 2 key features that turn it into one of the Mulesoft alternatives are:
Practically, with just a few clicks, you can set up a connection to the Oracle Sales Cloud, SAP, RightNow, Salesforce, Oracle E-Business Suite and the list can go on...
And now to mention just a few more of Oracle's strengths:
Not only that it “spoils” its users with an easy to use UI, drag and drop convenience for creating new processes and excellent support, but there's a whole “pile” of other features that make Dell Boomi one of the Mulesoft alternatives:
Furthermore, if I were to highlight its biggest strengths, I'd pick up 3 main benefits that you can reap from choosing it as your integration solution:
But (for there is, indeed, a “but”) there are also 2 discouraging drawbacks that I have to point out to you:
Now, if I am to sum up this “MuleSoft vs Dell Boomi” comparison in just one succinct, yet complete phrase, it would have to be the following:
While Dell Boomi's geared at providing you with comprehensive solutions for cloud integration, Mulesoft's “specialized” in API-based integration.
This is the key difference between the two integration solutions!
Determine and evaluate your integration needs first! It all boils down to this...
And that way before you jump to weighting each one of these integration technologies' strengths and limitations!
For it's only after you've defined your needs that you should start looking for the software capable to meet them.
