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…
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

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."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"It can scale."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"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."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
