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 features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."

"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."

"The use of ACK is valuable."

"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."

"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."

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

"The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."

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

"The stability is excellent."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."

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

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

"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."

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

Cons

"The product is expensive."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."

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

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

"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."

"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."

"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."

"Mule should have better B2B integration."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"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."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The solution has a high price."

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

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

"The product is still very expensive."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

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