Ritu-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent
I have worked on multiple platforms in this space, like MuleSoft, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell Boomi. However, Azure Logic Apps is the easiest and most transparent in terms of its operations, licensing cost, and scaling. Being in Azure, the use of the Azure ecosystem becomes quite native with Logic Apps.
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.

Pros

"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."
"Logic Apps helped reduce complexity or development time. For example, if we get documents in the form of images, we can use Logic Apps to extract information from those images. This simplifies our efforts compared to originally using Microsoft APIs to do the same task."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"The product's initial setup phase is something that I don't think is complex because once we start using it, it becomes simple."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"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."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The integration potential is excellent."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"It can scale."
"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."
 

Cons

"I find the current interface useful, but I could see how others would want the UI bits that are used for creating Logic Apps to be simplified."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"There could be custom code for the product's components."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can improve by continually updating the connectors to make them better."
"The main issue is performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Performance-wise, that's the only thing Microsoft should focus on."
"It's for a limited kind of application or short Apps. And, not for the complex applications."
"The solution lacks sufficient connectors."
"It can be a bit challenging to use."
"The stability could be better."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions. When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"It should give better control over account management."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
