We use the solution for web services.

It would be good to enhance the schedule interface. There is no indication that lets us know if a module has stopped. Shortly speaking, each business host has color in the Production page. Meanings of colors are described in a "Legend" link on the Production page. Also, each business host either has or has no private pool (processes that work with its queues). When we stop a business host by scheduling, its private processes are killed (if they exist). Such a situation is not expressed in changing business host color. The only way to check if a business host is stopped by scheduling is to check its processes presence.

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

"The InterSystems technical support (WRC) is perfect and highly qualified."

"The use of ACK is valuable."

"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."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."

"MuleSoft improves this product with every release, and since we're in a country that receives quarterly releases, any issues or improvements have usually already been dealt with."

"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."

"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."

"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."

"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"It would be good to enhance the schedule interface."

"The customer service is not good enough"

"When you try using it for the processing layer, it doesn't work well."

"The logs in terms of how the logs are populated could be improved."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."

"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done."

"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."

"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."

"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"The product is still very expensive."

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

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

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

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is 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"
