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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

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."

"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."

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

"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."

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

"The flexibility has been great overall."

"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."

"The integration potential is excellent."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

Cons

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

"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."

"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."

"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."

"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."

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

"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

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

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."

"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."

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

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

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

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"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."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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