MuleSoft API Manager Reviews

The tool has a private area. It also has a cloud deployment option. 

The solution's price is high. 

I am using the tool for more than six years. 

The solution is very stable. I would rate its stability an eight out of ten. 

The tool is scalable. I would rate its scalability a nine-point five out of ten. 

The product's support is good. 

The tool's setup is easy and quick. 

I would rate the product's pricing a seven-point five out of ten. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. AWS is cheaper than MuleSoft. 

I have used this solution for an Europe based customer. They have ticketing tools like ServiceNow and other applications in their multiple locations including Asia, the Pacific and North America. The idea was to integrate data communication between those applications.

When using the Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, it has a wide range of connectors that are readily available to connect with the multiple applications. They have specifically categorized the API application into three parts; backend APIs, middle APIs (which handles a business process), and front end layer APIs. These distributed API applications make Mulesoft a well matured and organized platform. 

Migrating any existing middleware platform to Mulesoft is difficult because of the transformation, conversion and integration involved. Better tools are needed to achieve quicker time to market.

The security infrastructure for this solution could be improved. Other API tools have more security options available. API Connect, for example, has specifically designed policies where I can customize my security framework for internal and external users. That kind of infrastructure is not available with Mulesoft.

I have used Mulesoft API Management for one year. 

This is a stable solution if the hardware is set up properly. You need to monitor the load of the APIs and the bandwidth they use to achieve maximum throughput. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We have hardly needed assistance from a technical perspective because their infrastructure is powerful and after sale service is good. I would rate it a four out of five.

The initial setup is complex when it comes to establishing the connectivity between on-premise services and cloud services. Deployment took between six and eight months. We have two junior resources who are responsible for maintenance but the solution does not require much maintenance after being pushed to production. 

Mulesoft is great in terms of reusability. When I design APIs for backend application, they can be reused because they are independent of the business flow. It is a good overall solution compared to other API management technologies with a quick time to value. 

The pricing for this solution is cheaper than GCP and Bluemix.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

We utilized Mulesoft API Management for a learning management system and content management system for the education sector.

We used the latest version of this solution. It was deployed on a hybrid Azure cloud.

There are around 200 people using this solution.

The security features are good. It's easy to configure the end-to-end integration with existing applications.

There should be more pricing options or certain discounts for the education sector.

I used this solution for about six months. I work as a cloud solution architect for a few companies.

It's stable.

We didn't utilize the scalability features.

Technical support is good. I was already working in Mulesoft, so I didn't require any technical help.

I'm a technical guy, so it was pretty straightforward by reading the documents.

Deployment took five months.

I was working as an architect. After that, they got their own in-house development team, and I handed over the entire project to them to manage the deployment and further development.

There were two people on the development team, and I was working as a cloud solution architect, so the whole team was three people.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I mainly use Anypoint for data integration and flow, and securing, transferring, and monitoring data logs.

The most valuable feature is the API manager.

Anypoint could be improved by making it more open and configurable for small companies, who tend not to consider the solution as it's expensive and requires a lot of costs upfront.

I've been using this solution for more than two years.

Anypoint's reliability is very good, we've had no issues with it.

Anypoint is very capable in terms of scalability.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and takes a couple of hours, but it depends very much on the licensing because not all licenses cover all the features MuleSoft has. Sometimes, especially on CloudHub, it can look like everything will be nice and easy, but if you're expecting to have some features and don't see them, you have to go back to MuleSoft and find out what's happening.

We used an in-house team to implement since we are experts on this solution.

Anypoint is the most expensive solution on the market, as far as I know, though it's also the most capable.

I would advise making sure your enterprise is following an API-led connectivity approach and is prepared for digital transformation. Also, make sure that there are no internal conflicts between the product and internal strategic goals and needs so that it will be relevant and synchronized. I would rate Anypoint as ten out of ten.

We use Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager for different reasons, it depends from project to project. We mainly use Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager to orchestrate some internal system integration processes.

The most valuable features of Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager are the API gateway, rate limiting, and orchestration.

The dashboards in Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager could improve.

I have been using Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager for approximately one year.

Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager is a scalable solution.

The support from Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager needs to improve.

The initial setup of Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager was complex. For those running Kubernetes it is an even higher difficulty level for the initial implementation.

We do the implementation of the solution. We have three people supporting our systems but they are not only dedicated to Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager.

The licensing model is based on how many cores are used. It is a very simple licensing scheme.

My advice to others is they will need strong technical support for this solution, however, they do not provide good support. If you are not experienced in this solution you may encounter some technical problems during the implementation and maintenance period. A strong architect is needed to help do the infrastructure and architecture of this solution.

I rate Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager a six out of ten.

I deploy this solution for my clients. 

This is a good API management product, applying the policies, doing the integrations. I deploy both the cloud and the on-premise solution depending on the client's requirements. 

If they were to develop on MuleSoft it would be a good way of improving API monetization. Together with that I'd like to see the developer portal. It currently comes with a Salesforce connection but it could be integrated better.

I've been using this solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable, we have customers in both the medium and enterprise environments. 

The technical support is reasonable. They respond to us promptly. 

The initial setup is fine for the cloud version but very complex for the on-prem deployment. 

Licensing costs are reasonable. 

Anyone planning to use this product should invest in some training beforehand. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

The solution is basically a SOAP API and REST API.

The solution is very flexible. It's a great aspect of the solution for us.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good. It's passable. 

The pricing is a bit expensive. It would be better if they offered more price-conscious licensing.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while now. I have some experience with it.

The solution is stable. It's good. There are no bugs or glitches and it does not crash or freeze. The performance has been good. 

The solution can scale if a company needs to expand it. It's pretty good. 

We have 30 people using the solution right now. 

We've contacted technical support and they are very helpful and responsive. They're good. I'm satisfied with the level of service provided to customers. 

We also use Tencent which is just more compatible with enterprise architecture.

I'm not overly familiar with the initial setup, however, my understanding is that it is an average level of difficulty. It's not overly simple or complex. 

We have four people that can handle maintenance duties. They are managers and admins. 

We used a consultant to assist us in the implementation process. 

The pricing could be better.

We pay a licensing fee on a monthly basis. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's good. I've enjoyed using it.

I would recommend the solution to others. It's a good platform. 

We use MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager across our integration team to move existing integrations and implement APIs. We are system integrators and I'm vice president of the company.

I like the approach of MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager and the kind of integration and flexibility it offers. The solution solves the flexibility of ALITAN, TODO1, and APA gameplay, it's a prominent feature that offers good value.

The solution is not open source and the market is now open with a lot of options customers can test to explore and investigate. I think the code is something we need to explore. I think licensing costs should be reduced, it's quite expensive. 

I have been using MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager for over four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is not completely straightforward but it's not too complex either. 

The solution is quite expensive. 

In our work, we carry out a deeper analysis of customer requirements. Based on their fixed rate product capabilities, the size of the organization, and the business case, we carry out an evaluation and propose a unique solution. We have our own evaluation process, which is quite extensive and includes architect scalability of configuration, maintainability, and then commercial licensing. Taking into account all those parameters we can figure out the best possible solution. It really depends on what the customer needs. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

Our primary use is the interconnectivity of exposed APIs. The transformation layer is huge on the MuleSoft platform.

The most valuable feature is the scalability.

With respect to the live help, I have language issues because I can't understand some of the things that I hear.

I just recently completed the Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager training, and have just begun working to get things set up. I am still learning my way around the platform.

My company has two active connections.

Stability-wise, it has been excellent.

Scalability is one of the key features of this solution. We're just at the beginning so we do plan on increasing usage.

Technical support for this product is excellent.

The resources are out there.

The initial setup is complex.

We deployed with our in-house team.

Our largest return on investment is a specific use case called Digital Account Opening. As a financial services firm, this is a process that entails paperwork, fax machines, and so on. With the implementation of this solution, it's going to be automatic.

The pricing is very expensive, although you get a lot of power from the product. We're just scratching the surface of it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for connecting IT systems between each other. Because there are so many interconnections. It makes the connection easy to manage and simplify.

The developer portal is easy to integrate. It is easy to use, easy to integrate, and I like the developer portal.

I would like to see more automation. Our operations are mainly between the IT applications and manual site transfer. Operations are done manually. It should also automate in the operation.

It's new, you could say that we're beginners. 

The stability is good. They are powerful products.

The initial setup was easy.

The price is a bit expensive. It's hard to budget.

I would rate Mulesoft an eight out of ten. Not a ten because of the pricing. 

I would recommend it.
