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.

Works

Facilitates seamless connections and automation across multiple data sources

Toad Data Point should include more features for utilizing AI, which can automatically perform many tasks. The tool should have a feature where, if I convert my Oracle connection, the code, whether a select statement or anything else, should automatically convert into Oracle format. The same with SQL. When connecting to SQL, the code should be in SQL format, and when connecting to Teradata, it should be in Teradata format. Since not everyone knows all languages, there should be a feature that automatically converts code into the desired format. It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."

"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."

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

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

"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."

"This is the easiest and best tool available."

"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."

"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

"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."

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

"We love it."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."

"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."

"The logs in terms of how the logs are populated could be improved."

"MuleSoft is considered one of the more expensive products in the market."

"Information on monitoring could be improved."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."

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

"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

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

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"The solution has a high price."

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

"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."

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"The cost of this product is reasonable."
