Mule Community edition vs Enterprise edition - Feature Comparison?

Question

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.

Answer 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

Answer 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.

However, adding the same content here so that if the link becomes dead, the content doesn't get lost. Simply hit Run code snippet button > Full page to see the complete table.
