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 solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."

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

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

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

"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."

"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."

"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 tool's visual features are attractive."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

Cons

"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."

"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."

"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."

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

"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."

"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."

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."

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

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

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

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

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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 is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

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

"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."

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

"The solution has a high price."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

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

"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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