Senior Validation Engineer at Weir Group PLC

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.

Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal

It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

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

"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."

"Mule is very scalable, and it is one of the prime reasons we use it."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"It can scale."

"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."

"It's a stable solution."

"It is a scalable solution."

"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."

"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

More Qlik Compose pros

Cons

"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."

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

"Pricing model is very expensive, Mule should consider Pay as You go model."

"Mule should have better B2B integration."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing can be a little bit expensive."

"Information on monitoring could be improved."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."

"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."

"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."

"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."

"There could be more customization options."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

More Qlik Compose cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"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"

"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."

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."

"The solution has a high price."

"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."

"The price of the solution is expensive."
