Manages multiple version changes during development, but the user interface needs improvement
The deployment process could have been more straightforward. It involved enabling the service and choosing between small, medium, or large configurations, followed by reading the documentation to determine the best fit for our use case. However, the documentation provided is good. The installation of the service itself takes only a few minutes.

Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the product's main strengths is that it is well-suited for a DevOps pattern, allowing us to automate our CI/CD pipeline."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"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."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
 

Cons

"The documentation provided is good."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not an inexpensive solution but it is less expensive than other options."
"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."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"The solution has a high price."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
