Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined
The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
"The stability could be better."
"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"The product is expensive."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"It should give better control over account management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
