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.

Great reporting and graphics but integration needs to be improved

One area for improvement would be integration. We've had problems with bottlenecks when creating the data warehouse because we didn't have all the information available. Integration also isn't as easy with Oracle BI as with other tools like Power BI or Tableau. In the next release, I'd like Oracle to include the ability to integrate with information that comes from large sources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."

"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the interface, the ease of use of the product, and its stability."

"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"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."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of developing APIs."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."

"It’s web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data, it provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and manipulate the data afterward if we need to."

"Calculations are a little bit faster, and it can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms, so you don't need any other specific tool and can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports."

"The pre-built data models are great, as is rapid implementation so that you can use all of the pre-developed Oracle features rather than doing the heavy lifting."

"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."

"It's web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to."

"There is a multitude of already developed objects that allow you to create and/or improve existing reports in a reasonably easy way."

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."

Cons

"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."

"The customer service is not good enough"

"The pricing can be a little bit less."

"Previously, Mule version 3 was, of course, very unstable."

"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."

"Mule should have better B2B integration."

"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."

"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."

"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."

"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes."

"As far as costs are concerned, as their current version of SQL Server is now on a Linux platform, it's now become something that we are starting to look at it."

"It was really unstable when it was first released on 11.1.1.7.1 back in May of 2013, but it has slowly become more stable over time."

"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."

"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years."

"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

"The product is still very expensive."

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. It is more than 100K for support. You pay for support on top of the standard licensing, which is on a yearly basis."

"As with any case study that we’ve ever done, it’s not so much a problem with the application or security or anything of that nature. It’s basically the cost infrastructure. Compared to other solutions, it’s one of the more costly solutions out there. It’s the biggest concern nowadays that upper management has."
