Featured Reviews

Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
 

Cons

"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"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."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a high price."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten 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."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
