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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."

"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."

"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."

"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."

"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."

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

"API management."

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"It was mostly easy to set up the product."

"The installation process is easy."

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"The customer service is not good enough"

"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."

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

"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."

"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."

"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."

"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."

"The solution has a high price."

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."

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

"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."

"The product is still very expensive."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
