Delivery Head at cblsolutions

Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."

"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."

"When we talk about the APIs, there are multiple policies one can apply on APIs, like rate limiting policies, OWASP policies, and OWASP security policies, that can be easily configured in Mule Anypoint Platform."

"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."

"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."

"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."

"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."

"The tool's visual features are attractive."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."

"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."

"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."

"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."

"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."

"The pricing can be a little bit less."

"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."

"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."

"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."

"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."

"The product is still very expensive."
