Integration with existing tools enhances data handling capabilities

DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft. While we are only downloading at the moment, we have tested some uploads, and the performance seems better than Data Loader, though it is more complicated. Both products use recommended security protocols, and we don't worry about their security.

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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."

"The product is still very expensive."

"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"

"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."

"The solution has a high price."

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."

"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."

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