MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Reviews

The solution enables searching, publishing, consumption, and subscription of APIs via a portal.

The product is robust. It is Java-based. We use the little resources we have to get things done. The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent. It is a rock-solid product. The tool has a lot of dashboards. We can monitor performance and scalability.

The product is expensive.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

We can have multiple instances and scale them dynamically. The solution also has load-balancing capabilities. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup is easy. We can just define our APIs and start building them. The tool is mostly deployed on the cloud. It can be deployed on public, private, and hybrid clouds. The deployment does not take much time. After the testing, if everything is fine, the tool can be deployed.

Boomi is suitable for small and medium-sized companies. Mule Anypoint Platform is suitable for small and medium businesses, but it is expensive.

I am a partner of Salesforce. I tried to understand why Boomi is stronger in the market than Mule Anypoint Platform. However, I could not find any disadvantages of Mule Anypoint Platform. The product has been in the market for a long time.

It has also introduced AI features. It can take issues and divert them based on dynamic data. ROI is not the only factor we consider. We must also consider scalability, smooth and hassle-free use, time to production, and time taken for testing. We can monitor things in real-time. I recommend the solution to enterprises. It is a good solution to migrate from TIBCO.

The tool has an API manager with a dedicated console to control the policies and everything else. Everything is integrated. We can call relevant data on the go. Nothing is hard-coded. If we want to get data from a particular source, we can automatically get it based on the AI input.

Overall, I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

We use the solution for migration and integration.

There are issues with dead-letter queues.

I have been using Anypoint MQ for one year.

The product is stable so far.

The customer service is not good enough in Hong Kong.

We chose Anypoint MQ because it is a top-rated product in the market.

For the basic setup, we use some local message queues and integrate them with the message queue. It took one year to complete the setup.

We used another tool because it was complicated, and we had to hire a third party to build the architecture. The setup is quite complicated.

Anypoint MQ has stability issues. I have experienced data loss and inconsistent behaviour. The data isn't always pushed to the SQL database. When I put a message in the SQL queue, the data should be static, but it's not. Additionally, clicking a message in Anypoint MQ can sometimes trigger database loss. This instability becomes particularly noticeable when starting or restarting the server.

Overall, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

We are using the solution for building business logic. It's like having a particular private cloud service that we can host on our premises, which is less cost-effective than Microsoft Logic Apps. It provides storage and data integration in a very good manner.

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

Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration. You have to filter the data before integrating it.

I have been using Mule Anypoint Platform for around one year.

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform a nine out of ten for stability.

We have to reintegrate it and create another structure on the same file instead of modifying the base one. We have to create other versions also. The solution's scalability is questionable compared to Microsoft Logic Apps.

Around 10 to 20 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform a six or seven out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support is not so good, but they are trying to provide on-time support. They take around 24 to 48 business hours to provide the solutions.

I rate the solution’s technical support eight and a half out of ten.

Positive

On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate Mule Anypoint Platform ten out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

The solution's deployment takes around five to seven minutes maximum.

Firstly, we have to understand how we can integrate with the clients provided, then build the proxies of APIs and deploy from Anypoint Studio to CloudHub. A single person was required to deploy the solution.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten.

As it is free of cost and we have to take an enterprise license, there is probably no fee.

For the big layer ones, Mule Anypoint Platform will be better than Microsoft Logic Apps or any other integration platform.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the infrastructure of the Mule Anypoint Platform to host our application and services on Amazon. We are end-users and I'm a technical delivery manager.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of developing APIs. It's very, very easy and very fast. Anypoint offers good performance and security. 

The pricing should be improved, it's an expensive product. 

I've been using this solution for six years. 

The solution is stable. 

The scalability is good but again, you need to be aware that if you want to scale up your APIs, it requires spending more. 

We're not so happy with the technical support, it could definitely be improved. 

Generally, deployment of one API wouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. We use CICD DevOps for our deployment strategy and it's carried out in-house. We use this product continuously and extensively.

It's important to be aware of the cost implications of using this solution. Unless you know the extent to which you are going to use MuleSoft, you'll begin with a handful of APIs that need to be developed and then you'll start implementing more and more until you realize it's become quite expensive. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

The tool's use cases are mainly for enterprise-level integrations that require transformations and major publish-subscribe scenarios in which data needs to be published to multiple systems in different formats.

I rate the solution's ease of learning a nine out of ten. It has good documentation and self-learning videos. It promotes usability and provides an end-to-end integration solution with the Salesforce ecosystem

The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs. 

The tool requires programming language. 

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform's stability as nine out of ten.

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform's scalability as nine out of ten. 

The solution's deployment is 10-20 percent longer.

We have a team to deploy the tool. 

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

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

I would recommend Anypoint MQ to customers using MuleSoft as an integration platform. Anypoint MQ is a pure messaging product. The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good.

The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved.

I've recently started using Anypoint MQ.

The solution’s technical support is good, but they should work on their response time.

Neutral

Anypoint MQ is easy to configure. However, it is not that easy when compared to Apache Kafka.

If customers using open-source integration or any springboard integrations need JMS, they must carefully evaluate the product. I would recommend Anypoint MQ only for MuleSoft customers. I won't recommend the solution to customers using a different integration platform because there's a cost associated with the product.

Overall, I rate Anypoint MQ an eight out of ten.

The solution is used as a middle environment as we have our own database settings and PostgreSQL database. If an API requires some information then they need to go through Mule Anypoint. We are also trying to implement our own DataGraph. 

In our company, we have some other ETL tools but comparatively, MuleSoft is much more compatible in many other ways for data transformation. MuleSoft can handle a lot of different types of data. So even if something is not available, there are some workarounds, and this is professionally advantageous. 

I have a lot of resources as a developer and I don't want to always ask Mule for help. There are a lot of online resources which can be referred to easily even as a beginner, which is a positive.

Most of the people who work here are long-term employees who are much more versatile in German, than English, and MuleSoft supports the local languages. That was one of the positives and was why Mulesoft was considered beyond its scalability and other functions. Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person.

The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance. 

I have been using Mule Anypoint Platform for two years. 

The solution's stability has increased over time. 

It is a scalable solution. Presently, five to ten people use the solution. 

The technical support team is quick with their responses and are prompt in providing a solution. 

The initial setup is complex as there is no documentation that can guide you. There are professionals to help but they charge a lot.

I would recommend others to use the solution because it is easy to use. If they want to learn, there is a free course available on the website for developers. At the same time, even if you are not able to get some information readily available, there are a lot of other resources that are available online. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten as they are still improving. 

We use Mule Anypoint Platform in our company for API integration, API orchestration, and other related things.

Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities. One of the solution's features is its connectors, which allow for any specific integrations within any other package software. Mule provides a lot of connectors for integration purposes.

I think Mule Anypoint Platform is one of the market leaders, so our customers prefer it, which is why I also use it.

The solution's user interface has shortcomings and can be made much better. Mule Anypoint Platform can be made more user-friendly so that people with lesser technical knowledge can understand the product. Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people.

I have been working as a system integrator using Mule Anypoint Platform for two to three years.

It is a scalable solution.

My company caters to the needs of medium-sized businesses.

Mule's technical support is good. I rate the technical support between eight and nine out of ten.

Positive

Regarding Mule Anypoint Platform's installation, I can say that since we use the SaaS platform, we didn't face any issues with the installation of SaaS modules.

Mule Anypoint Platform is a SaaS system. The platform is available, so you just configure it and don't need to deploy anything. You just have to configure whether you want high availability, DR, or anything else. Otherwise, there is nothing much to deploy since it all falls on the SaaS capabilities.

We have only three engineers required for the configuration and adaptation of the product.

Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced.

The product's maintenance part is easy and requires only one person.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
