A low-performing integration tool
We use it as an in-house back-type integration tool. It allows us to have different integrations between different systems It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time. Furthermore, it relies on the files systems and does not create components, so it is…

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 stability of the solution is OK."
"The stability of the solution is OK."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
 

Cons

"It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time."
"It is not performing well."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"I think in the next release if they could work with the low-code platform that developers are struggling with that would be helpful."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
 

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 comes complete at one set price including support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, 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"
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
