Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."
What is our primary use case?
I am involved in architectural design using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.

The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool. It provides details about the APIs, such as availability and functionality. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform helps to standardize data integration approaches, making it easier to implement integration projects. Additionally, it has a lot of connectors out of the box with many products, which ease the integration process.
What needs improvement?
An improvement could be the usage of OpenAPI specifications. Currently, it uses other standards, but adopting OpenAPI, the standard in the market, would be beneficial.

I have been using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for one year and a half.

The platform is quite stable, and I have no complaints in this area.

I do not know the specific costs, but given that it is part of MuleSoft, I suspect it is not cheap.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have already given a rating for Apigee in the past.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend evaluating the needs first because the product offers many options. However, depending on the use case, some features may not fit properly, which could lead to over-engineering. The overall rating for MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is seven out of ten.
