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…

Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

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 solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"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."
