Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades

One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

Offers power developers the tooling they need

I am not the end user of this solution. I am not close enough to it because I manage the platform that it runs against. The end users who use the Toad tool come against the database that my team manages, so it is hard for me to provide any area for improvement when it comes to the Toad tool. However, in the administration case, cost is a significant issue. The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."

"API management."

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

"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."

"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."

"It's easy to develop APIs."

"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."

"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"The best thing about it is its automation features."

"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."

"We love it."

"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."

"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."

Cons

"It should give better control over account management."

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

"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."

"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 solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."

"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."

"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

"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."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

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

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."

"The cost of this product is reasonable."

"The Mac licenses are expensive, costing 1,600 dollars each. This is much higher than for the Windows version. I maintain a very limited number of licenses due to this cost."
