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."
"It can scale."
"It is a very good ESB tool for integration."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the interface, the ease of use of the product, and its stability."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution, which would help us in terms of automation."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"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."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
