A useful tool to integrate applications and for data transformations that need to improve in the area of price and support

The main area where improvements are required in the product revolves around budgeting. The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle. Mule Anypoint Platform is made available with many components, and whether users use them or not depends on their choices. For example, though there is a tool called Anypoint MQ, our organization prefers to pay and use Kafka, as we don't want to use MuleSoft Anypoint MQ. In Mule Anypoint Platform, there needs to be proper segregation to help users identify what they need and don't need, making it an area where users need to be careful when opting for MuleSoft. Mule Anypoint Platform is an integration tool and not an ETL solution. When a user has to deal with a huge number of data, then Mule Anypoint Platform should not be a preferred choice since it can only be used for lightweight purposes revolving around APIs. There is a need to have a clear architectural decision made before opting for Mule Anypoint Platform. When there is a requirement for heavy data transformation, then users need to decide whether to go with Mule Anypoint Platform or any other platform available in the market. Though the tool comes with many useful components, it depends on whether the user plans to use all of its features. Recently, the product has come up with a new feature that is similar to an API catalog. MuleSoft had come up with the UAPIM feature almost eight months to a year ago, which had some concerns in the area of budgeting. Whether you build APIs using Javacore or any other tools, they can be cataloged using MuleSoft's UAPIM feature, for which users need to pay an extra amount, making it an area of concern for users. It would be great if MuleSoft's support team could provide help with the area of Kubernetes.

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 ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."

"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."

"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."

"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."

"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."

"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."

"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"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 provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."

"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."

"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."

"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

"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."

"Great features available in one tool."

"The virtualization tool is useful."

More Palantir Foundry pros

Cons

"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."

"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."

"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."

"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."

"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."

"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."

"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."

"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"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."

"Some error messages can be very cryptic."

"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."

"Cost of this solution is quite high."

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."

"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."

"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."

More Palantir Foundry cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."

"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 product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."

"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 solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."

"The solution has a high price."
