Mule Community edition vs Enterprise edition - Feature Comparison?
26,971
Solution 1
MuleSoft provides a list of comparisons and features here: http://www.mulesoft.com/platform/soa/mule-esb-enterprise
This details that Datamapper is enterprise only. It has a blanket statement around enterprise connectors, but you can view which are enterprise or community via mulesoft.org/connectors?class=premium
Some transports, (mainly JDBC) have enterprise equivalents which are documented on the individual transports documentation pages: http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/JDBC+Transport+Reference
Solution 2
Bumping an old thread, but this page provides a good simple list with simple supported/not supported and also the impact areas of such feature not being included in CE.

dacology over 3 years
This should be a simple 'google' ... but I have drawn a blank. I assume it must be out there somewhere, can anyone help me find it?
I need a simple comparison that tells me what is in and what is out of the community edition vs the enterprise edition?
*For example the DataMapper is not included in Community, but this is not clear until you try to deploy, I'd really like to save a lot of wasted effort upfront.
Thank you.
-
dacology about 10 yearsThats useful, thanks. But we really need a deeper level of granularity... I need the list that says DataMapper=no, SFTP=yes, etc. At the build element level I guess. At the moment I need to build and deploy to find out what wont work. Thanks
-
Ryan Carter about 10 yearsThe above list does say Datamapper = no. The core of Mule including it's transports such as SFTP is open source and included in the community edition(with exception to the JDBC transport which has an additional enterprise jdbc transport) As for enterprise connectors etc. You can view which are enterprise or community via mulesoft.org/connectors?class=premium -
dacology about 10 yearsThanks... yes, I didnt see the datamapper reference... I was expectign a long list... but in conjunction with the connector search this gets me somewhere useful. Many Thanks.... In your view what is the key bits we loose on community edition?
-
Ryan Carter about 10 yearsimho Datamapper, the Mule Management Console, clustering/HA and mainly the support from Mulesoft. Transformation can be done in many other ways than Datamapper and the same for clustering and monitoring etc. There's a good thread on the mule group on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/… You will need to join the group if you are not already a member.
