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.

Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines
The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"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."
"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 Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER."
 

Cons

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"We sometimes face issues with debugging and Java errors that we get in the Mule runtime."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"The stability is another thing on MuleSoft that can be improved. They introduced connectors for other platforms and sometimes the connectors are not great quality and they are not very robust, so that affects the stability and is an area where stability and the product overall could be improved as well."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"Technical support isn't the greatest. The transparency is less than you sometimes need."
"Technical support needs to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is still very expensive."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"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."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
