Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
- "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."

The solution is stable.
I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. The solution is for the enterprise solution.
I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I will compare the solution with SAP CPI. It is also for enterprise-level customers like companies with a very big IT spend and infrastructure. It is better in terms of capabilities and ease of use. CPI is more complicated, and it requires a lot of time to learn it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not very complex. It depends upon the VPN, architecture, and customer. VPN is difficult because you need a network team and an understanding of what’s happening, but it is not involved in Anypoint; instead, it is the whole architecture of the IP landscape, which makes it complex.
We help our customers with initial implementation and then hand it over to the support team for maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the product for an enterprise level.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
