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 monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"Many companies work via an API economy, and by leveraging APIs, and thereby leveraging MuleSoft, the total cost of ownership can be reduced dramatically."
"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)."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"I think the downsides or areas for improvement in this solution involve exploring more on the AI side of how seamlessly AI can be integrated for these integration works."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"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."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"For simpler tasks or simpler use cases, we avoid using WSO2 Enterprise Integrator because it is quite complex."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."

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