### "Taking The Donkey’s Work Out Of Integration" — 5.0/5

> **Rakesh Sharma** | *3 April 2013*
> 
> **Pros**: Great tool to take the donkey's work out of scalable and flexible integration
> 
> **Cons**: Could be less technical
> 
> Mule ESB is lightweight and works across platforms. In addition, it is popular: the Mule open source project has a community of over 150,000 members. Most of these members are developers, who constantly grow the product using mainstream IDE environments such as Eclipse, Maven, Spring, and Ant. In addition, you can use the company’s CloudHub solution to integrate offline components of your IT asset inventory with their cloud-based counterparts.

### "Legacy approach to enterprise integration" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *3 October 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mule ESB is based on an open-source ethos, and has many out-of-the-box connectors which can be used as an integration accelerator
> 
> **Cons**: I think that the ESB pattern is becoming a legacy approach to application integration
> 
> Mule ESB is a heavyweight approach to application integration
