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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."

"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."

"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."

"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)."

"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."

"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."

"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."

"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."

"The stability is excellent."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."

"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."

"The product is expensive."

"When you try using it for the processing layer, it doesn't work well."

"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."

"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."

"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."

"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."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."

"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."

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

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
