Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup.""Good interface, simple to use and stable.""The use of ACK is valuable.""We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful.""The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good.""The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components.""Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."

Cons
"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 customer service is not good enough""The product does not provide a priority level for the message.""Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software.""The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved.""Information on monitoring could be improved.""Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface.""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."

More Anypoint MQ Cons →

"The product's interface needs improvement.""In the next release, I would like to see the GUI allow you to configure the security section.""It would be helpful if they could help us explain why they, as in, the customers, should use the product and the overall benefits."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
  • "Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
  • "The solution has a high price."
  • "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."

  • "The pricing needs to be improved."
  • "The platform is averagely priced."
