Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
4.9
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform reduces TCO, decreases technical debt, and enhances cost-efficiency with its API-led approach for enterprises.
Sentiment score
6.0
Stitch improves efficiency with cost-effective integrations, reduced bespoke code management, and faster time-to-market, saving time and resources.
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Student at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If they are providing automation, then definitely it will be beneficial for any of the business or any of the domains you are working on.

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform offers responsive customer support, though documentation and response times can improve for non-premium users.

Senior Validation Engineer at Weir Group PLC
If I rate the technical support of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform from one to ten based on the feedback I have received from my team, it should be around nine.
Chief Technology Officer at Abylle
The Salesforce team offers different levels of support.
Senior Consultant at Radiotechnologies
The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is praised for scalability and flexibility, though users seek better automatic scalability and message size improvements.
Sentiment score
5.1
Stitch offers strong scalability and resource management but struggles with compatibility and third-party connections in legacy versions.
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is quite scalable, and it meets our use cases with no issues preventing implementation.
Solutions Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
MuleSoft provides the ability to scale, yet it is costly to do so.
Integration Lead at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
I would rate the scalability of Mule Anypoint Platform as a six because they do not provide autoscalable solutions yet.
Sr Managing Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree
 

Stability Issues

7.7
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is generally stable but occasionally faces issues with connectors and integration during updates.

Regarding the stability of Mule Anypoint Platform, I find it quite stable as long as it is configured correctly to ensure data delivery.

Stitch is really stable.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I have not run into any major platform downtime or critical bugs that disrupted our data flow.

I didn't notice any explicit crashes or bugs with Stitch, as it is actually stable.

Room For Improvement

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform users desire improved support, updates, affordability, ease of setup, integration, documentation, and enhanced AI features.
Stitch users seek improved support, exotic connectors, AI enhancements, customization, streamlined interfaces, and better communication of updates.
MuleSoft is considered expensive, so pricing is a major concern.
Integration Lead at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic.
Senior Consultant at Radiotechnologies
Currently, it uses other standards, but adopting OpenAPI, the standard in the market, would be beneficial.
Solutions Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.
Product Designer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.

Setup Cost

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's high, complex pricing may deter small organizations despite its extensive features and potential savings.
Stitch's pricing is seen as fair and cost-effective, despite initial perceptions of high costs and mixed licensing simplicity.
MuleSoft is considered one of the more expensive products in the market.
Integration Lead at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
I do not know the specific costs, but given that it is part of MuleSoft, I suspect it is not cheap.
Solutions Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The platform reduces manual workload in maintaining infrastructure, but it does come with some cost considerations.
Senior Consultant at Radiotechnologies
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.
Senior Manager at pibythree

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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.
