A low-performing integration tool
We use it as an in-house back-type integration tool. It allows us to have different integrations between different systems It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time. Furthermore, it relies on the files systems and does not create components, so it is…

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

"The stability of the solution is OK."
"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 API-led approach of MuleSoft offers a very cost-efficient model and re-use for implementation and support of microservices, APIs and generic services when followed correctly, and is fully supported and enabled by the web engagement tools of the platform (Anypoint Exchange, Anypoint Portals, and Anypoint Design Center)."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the interface, the ease of use of the product, and its stability."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"When you try using it for the processing layer, it doesn't work well."
"Unfortunately the documentation is not great."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"The stability is another thing on MuleSoft that can be improved. They introduced connectors for other platforms and sometimes the connectors are not great quality and they are not very robust, so that affects the stability and is an area where stability and the product overall could be improved as well."
"The pricing and licensing can be a little bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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"
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
