Fast support, good data ingestion, and a nice UI
I am happy with the product. It has solved our business challenges. It is easy to integrate into multiple sources. We did have to use a data transformation tool which would take months to map and transform data that was being dumped into our secure file transfer. Previously, by the time we finished ingesting the data, it was no longer relevant. This has since changed. Therefore, there are no areas needed for improvement.

Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined
The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."
"Great for data flow."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"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."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"The UI could be improved."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"The tool requires programming language."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions. When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The price could be improved."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"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 tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
