A useful tool to integrate applications and for data transformations that need to improve in the area of price and support

The main area where improvements are required in the product revolves around budgeting. 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. Mule Anypoint Platform is made available with many components, and whether users use them or not depends on their choices. For example, though there is a tool called Anypoint MQ, our organization prefers to pay and use Kafka, as we don't want to use MuleSoft Anypoint MQ. In Mule Anypoint Platform, there needs to be proper segregation to help users identify what they need and don't need, making it an area where users need to be careful when opting for MuleSoft. Mule Anypoint Platform is an integration tool and not an ETL solution. When a user has to deal with a huge number of data, then Mule Anypoint Platform should not be a preferred choice since it can only be used for lightweight purposes revolving around APIs. There is a need to have a clear architectural decision made before opting for Mule Anypoint Platform. When there is a requirement for heavy data transformation, then users need to decide whether to go with Mule Anypoint Platform or any other platform available in the market. Though the tool comes with many useful components, it depends on whether the user plans to use all of its features. Recently, the product has come up with a new feature that is similar to an API catalog. MuleSoft had come up with the UAPIM feature almost eight months to a year ago, which had some concerns in the area of budgeting. Whether you build APIs using Javacore or any other tools, they can be cataloged using MuleSoft's UAPIM feature, for which users need to pay an extra amount, making it an area of concern for users. It would be great if MuleSoft's support team could provide help with the area of Kubernetes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

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

"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."

"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."

"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."

"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."

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."

"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."

"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."

"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."

"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."

"I would like to see some data integration and automation."

"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."

"The product is expensive."

"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."
