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.

Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications
Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initially, we faced challenges managing numerous scheduled jobs and duplicate entries in our SAP system. To address this, we developed a reusable component in Mule that all applications could use to interact with SAP."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"The performance of Redis is very fast."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
 

Cons

"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"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."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"The tool requires programming language."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"The solution has a high price."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"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's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
"Redis is not an overpriced solution."
"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."
"Redis is an open-source product."
