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

"Overall, it is a pretty good product and it is also very scalable."
"Mule Anypoint Platform has a good feature for batch processes where the internal tool handles everything."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"When we talk about the APIs, there are multiple policies one can apply on APIs, like rate limiting policies, OWASP policies, and OWASP security policies, that can be easily configured in Mule Anypoint Platform."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"It is a very good ESB tool for integration."
"API management."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The stability is excellent."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."
 

Cons

"I would rate the scalability of Mule Anypoint Platform as a six because they do not provide autoscalable solutions yet; the version we are using does not automatically adjust capacity based on the load."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"In MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, there is a disadvantage because users need substantial technical understanding, which creates a barrier for citizen developers."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
