Find out in this report how the two Data Virtualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
We have been able to drive responsible, transparent, and explainable AI workflow to operationalize AI and mitigate risk and regulatory compliance easily.
Cloud Pak is a complicated system, and it's often difficult to find the right resource in IBM to help with specific issues.
Customer support should be more responsive and reach and respond on time.
IBM support is very supportive, and I would rate them an eight out of ten based on our long relationship with them.
I would probably rate the support for MuleSoft Anypoint Platform a nine on a scale from one to ten.
The support team is responsive and helpful.
The Salesforce team offers different levels of support.
I have not noticed any downtime or lagging, especially when dealing with large data, so it is relatively very scalable.
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is quite scalable, and it meets our use cases with no issues preventing implementation.
MuleSoft provides the ability to scale, yet it is costly to do so.
Setting up the hybrid and multi-cloud environments is a long job and it takes time.
I would love Cloud Pak to come with a demo database that illustrates the different components of data management in a logical way, so I can see the whole picture instead of just the area I'm specializing in.
I do not know if Cognos has all the features that users are looking for since we provide it as our standard and do not maintain infrastructure for other tools.
Currently, it uses other standards, but adopting OpenAPI, the standard in the market, would be beneficial.
MuleSoft is considered expensive, so pricing is a major concern.
When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic.
The setup cost is very expensive.
Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, for a small organization, the price might be relatively high, but for huge enterprises such as ours, the price is relatively affordable.
I do not know the specific costs, but given that it is part of MuleSoft, I suspect it is not cheap.
MuleSoft is considered one of the more expensive products in the market.
The platform reduces manual workload in maintaining infrastructure, but it does come with some cost considerations.
We have been able to save approximately 80 percent of our time. We are not doing data analysis manually, so this relieves our data department of dealing with data.
The benefits of choosing IBM Cognos, in addition to saving on cost, include having institutional knowledge about maintaining this infrastructure and enough people who have developed on Cognos in the past, which creates comfort in its use.
From there, I can work my way into a more granular level, applying all of that information on top of my actual data to understand what my data looks like, where it came from, and where it went wrong, managing it throughout the cycle.
The platform is integrated with Salesforce, making it preferable when using Salesforce products.
The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API.
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform helps to standardize data integration approaches, making it easier to implement integration projects.
