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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"The API-led connectivity approach of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform offers specific functionality based on various conditions."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The logs in terms of how the logs are populated could be improved."
"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"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 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"
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
