Considered Both Products
Cleo Integration Cloud
Chose Cleo Integration Cloud
Before choosing a solution, we did a detailed analysis of cost, performance, scaling and support. Cleo checked all the right boxes and we have been very satisfied with our choice.
Chose Cleo Integration Cloud
Seeburger is also an excellent product but at the time it was a little outside our price range and seemed designed for much larger requirements, whereas we had confidence in CLEO to be able to handle the amount of data conversion we required and in their forward movement and …
Chose Cleo Integration Cloud
I have only used Cleo.
Mule ESB
Chose Mule ESB
Hands down, Mule is more cost-effective than Informatica, either on-prem or cloud, and the value only goes up form there. Reusability and ease of creation makes in-house training simple and the end result is we leverage Mule for much more than what we initially considered it …
Chose Mule ESB
I have worked with Oracle SOA Suite and I think if you have APIs with most of the integration with databases (majorly Oracle DB) then you should use Oracle SOA Suite instead of Mule. Oracle SOA Suite is most suitable to call most of the DB objects (i.e. procedures , functions, …
Chose Mule ESB
It is a great product, just very expensive and did not have the connectors. For larger companies it works well and is very reliable, but it requires special skills and support staff to manage the performance and scaling attributes. Both tools can do the job, it just depends …
Chose Mule ESB
It doesn't have API . We have to go for another API manager. But in Mule, it has both API manager and ESB

Cleo Integration CloudMule ESB
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a simple and easy way to back up a computer to the cloud and integrated with the office 365 environment. And most importantly, the data is physically safe, off-site and protected by redundant copies, encrypted with Enterprise-level security and maintained by expert systems management personnel.

Well Suited for:
  • REST APIs.
  • Rapid API Development.
  • Most suitable for integration with SFDC.
  • Batch processing.
  • Parallel processing.
Less appropriate for:
  • Integration with Database.
  • Exposing SOAP services.
  • Small organizations, because it is super costly.

Seeburger is also an excellent product but at the time it was a little outside our price range and seemed designed for much larger requirements, whereas we had confidence in CLEO to be able to handle the amount of data conversion we required and in their forward movement and improvement in their product. We were correct and it has proven to be an excellent choice for us.

Hands down, Mule is more cost-effective than Informatica, either on-prem or cloud, and the value only goes up form there. Reusability and ease of creation makes in-house training simple and the end result is we leverage Mule for much more than what we initially considered it for. Having used Oracle and TIBCO before as well, I find they are the tools of yesterday, not able to keep up in terms of functionality or price. Jitterbit would be a more relevant comparison, but Mule won out in the bake-off we did between them.

Return on Investment
  • Our company has been using this when it was still Extol, so we have a lot of projects on Cleo. This is the default method we use to transform file types.

  • Created a means to have a synergy with developers - quickly made us productive
  • Ease of integration with Mule connectors - quicker releases
  • Initial configuration was a challenge. Would have been more challenging without Mule Support
