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

"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."

"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."

"The API-led connectivity approach of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform offers specific functionality based on various conditions."

"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."

"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."

"The integration potential is excellent."

"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."

"It was mostly easy to set up the product."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

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

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

Cons

"The price could be improved."

"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."

"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 solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."

"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."

"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."

"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."

"Mule should have better B2B integration."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"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."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is still very expensive."

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

"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."

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

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

"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
