We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Mule Anypoint Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature."
"Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good."
"The flexibility that Azure Data Factory offers is great."
"The user interface is very good. It makes me feel very comfortable when I am using the tool."
"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."
"The most valuable feature is the copy activity."
"In terms of my personal experience, it works fine."
"This solution has provided us with an easier, and more efficient way to carry out data migration tasks."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The solution needs to integrate more with other providers and should have a closer integration with Oracle BI."
"The pricing model should be more transparent and available online."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"The initial setup is not very straightforward."
"It can improve from the perspective of active logging. It can provide active logging information."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"There is always room to improve. There should be good examples of use that, of course, customers aren't always willing to share. It is Catch-22. It would help the user base if everybody had really good examples of deployments that worked, but when you ask people to put out their good deployments, which also includes me, you usually got, "No, I'm not going to do that." They don't have enough good examples. Microsoft probably just needs to pay one of their partners to build 20 or 30 examples of functional Data Factories and then share them as a user base."
"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."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"The price could be improved."
